Terrific review! I love a good thriller and from your review it sounds like this one is right up my alley. I like the fact that the author uses the multiple POVS and makes it very clear about who you are with sometimes it can get confusing as to who's POV you're reading. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you for the great review! I like how the topic of this book is of obesity since this is a major issue in many children and adults. Darwin seems like a fascinating character, especially with the Voice he hears. Congratulations to the author for being BOTD and for receiving such a positive review! :)

It sounds like mental illness might be an important topic in this book. From the description of Jeremy's relationship with food (food controls him), it seems like he may be struggling with a food addiction. Additionally, this Darwin character seems like he might suffer from a mental illness as well that contributes to his inclination toward violence. Interesting.

Thank you for the detailed review! It definitely helped me decide whether this is a book I am interested in. It is rare that a story featuring a serial killer also takes the time to relay a social message.

Thanks for the review. It is hard to imagine a serial killer targeting obese people, but I see from the review that it has brought out a great novel! I like books told in the third person because it allows more insight to all the characters and not just from the point of view from what the first person can "hear".

I've been wanting to read this for a long time. It sounds so good and a unique idea for a book, in my opinion. Thanks for the great review!

Great review. What's not to like about a serial killer and an obese teenager who decides to sue the fast food industry. Love story that has a reason behind it. Congrats to the author on being BOTD.
