This is a novel plot where obese people become the target of a serial killer. I certainly want to taste this thriller.

Thank you for the thorough review.

This book has a very unique storyline, which I really appreciate. I can definitely relate to feeling controlled by food.

I don't think I would personally like this book. However, I think that it addresses an important and difficult topic, and given that it is combined with criminal acts, I think many would like it. Thanks for the review!

This was a fun review. I've never heard of a book where a serial killer goes after obese people.

I don't like reading thrillers but the cover of this book seems so exciting. Your review did not make the story seem like a scary thriller. I might take a read. The theme of obesity is a very delicate one but the plot of the book seems cohesive. Thanks for the review

Whilst reading this review, I could only imagine Jeremy's plight. Facing obesity, risk of diabetes, and being targeted by a serial killer. I'll like to see how all these play out eventually. Great review.

What a great review, this sounds like an interesting combination of story ideas. I might have to look into this one, although contemporary serial killer plots are not my go to.

Great review! A novel about obesity and bullying is quite relatable - the inclusion of a serial killer makes it more intriguing. Would love to see how the whole story unfolded.

While the plot and the three main characters of; Sue, Darwin and Jeremy seems interesting, I am not a fan of C/M/T/H with graphic violence. Thanks for a good review on this book.
