I only read the sample, and I'm not used to the comic novel format, so I really wasn't sure I wanted to finish reading the book. But the review was excellent--it outlines the plot, details how the author seamlessly integrates contemporary topics into the story and informs me that there is a lot of educational materials included at the end that will help me lead a healthier life, etc. I used to enjoy reading comics, so I think I will finish the book. It sounds worth it.

Day-to-day life situations turning into a story are worth chuckling. Harmful diet products are gaining favoritism through sparkling social media platforms, giving rise to addiction and diseases that need to be controlled. The book has many lessons to offer. A good attempt by the author.

While the book mainly focuses on personal choices to make better food choices, the book throws a dateline at systemic factors that foster poor food habits too. That's food deserts, aggressive marketing of unhealthy products, and the power of social media algorithms.

From the review, the book sounds really interesting, especially for those of us who enjoy comic novels. From the title, I thought it would focus only on food and its dark side, but it also includes violence and social media influencers. It seems to leave readers with questions, which makes you want to keep reading to find out more.

This book has many major elements that make me believe it will be a great read. A sci-fi novel in the form of a comic that deals with AI, food addiction, and the dangers of social media is one to look out for!

This review is really a great insight on how blindly we do follow some influencer about our diet without doing our proper research. This book talks about day-to-day activities about the food we eat and so on. It's a great book
Congrats on BOTD!

I'm glad that you're review has clarified my misconception about the book because I thought the book was one of those nutritional books that tells what to eat and not to eat. How does violence relate to the dark side of food though? Congratulations on BOTD!!
