The conversations of the characters and their stories are really amazing and enjoyable to read.
Although there are graphic violence, the book is still really interesting. Thanks for the great review!

At first look, the image on the cover - a delicious looking burger - with the title, made me think this is a book about food. Man, I was wrong! This is a thriller and a good one at that.
When I take a careful look, the burger on the cover is being exhibited at the point of the knife that impaled it right in the middle, the dripping sauce makes it look like it is bleeding; and doh, one would notice the words 'a thriller' at the bottom of the cover.
Eating Bull, is the nickname given by his grandpa to fifteen years old Jeremy, who is morbidly obese and dealing with health issues despite his young age. He hates being called Eating Bull. At the second chapter, a murder and the mystery begin.
The book is very well written, the characters well developed, it is a pleasure to go through the story and made me want to read more and more. From now on the author, Carrie Rubin, is one of my favorites.

Thanks for this informative review. I loved both the rerview and book. I loved the book title and cover because it depicts the contents of the book. I have to admit that junk food is truly an addiction. It is hard to have enough of it and one just needs to have some control over themselves. Discrimination is an ugly sight and it is one that I would not like to witness.
