I guess I'm in the minority, but I didn't like this book. I couldn't find any sympathy for this overly obese man who ate himself into oblivion and lived like a pig, never bathed and wore the same clothes until they stank. He ordered his food online and left the garbage all over the living room. He couldn't walk the stairs to the bedrooms for years, and made his place in front of the TV stuffing his face! He didn't speak to his family, but his father kept supporting him, perhaps out of guilt.

I skimmed a lot but it was boring and didn't interest me. You know the old expression, "different strokes for different folks"!!!
