Butter is fat, very, very fat. He has to have a special desk and chair at school to support his weight, and a special bench in the cafeteria. His one talent is playing the saxophone. Other than that, he eats, and eats, and eats. One day he gets so sick of his life that he starts a blog, vowing to eat himself to death on New Year's Eve. And then his life changes. People notice him for something other than his size, and he discovers friendship and fun and wonders if maybe there's something more for him than death. This was a great book. I really liked Butter as a character even though I thought he did some really stupid things. It certainly got me thinking about how being different can make life very difficult. I recommend this very highly.
Who would enjoy this? If you like putting yourself in someone else's shoes, and seeing what life can be like for others, you'll like this book.
