Fat Camp
Fat Camp | James Sabata
7 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
Since 1985, over 500 overweight teenagers have come to Camp Wasí?u, looking to lose weight, gain self-confidence, and turn their lives around.Phillip McCracken arrives, weighing in at almost 400 pounds; but the baggage he carries from the past affects him much more deeply than the numbers of the scale. When a homicidal maniac hell-bent on revenge attacks, Phillip will be forced to either find the courage to save the people around him or fall victim to his own self-doubt... ... and possibly a machete.Filled with allusions to the Slasher films of yesteryear, Fat Camp delivers horror, humor, and a little stab of nostalgia for anyone who grew up even slightly afraid of the dark.

Thank you @ReadingOver50. I love it all. If I make it through this weekend with out one of the nephews clawing onto that pumpkin faced milk bottle it will be a miracle. I love that there are so many books I have not heard of or don't know. Which will I read first? Nor sure. maybe Walk on the Dark Side because I am in a short story mood. But then again, I love the cover of Fat camp. Thank you so much for everything.

and thanks for hosting

If one more teen discusses shitting himself I am bailing on this thing.

So far everyone is this book is gross and mean amd I am not having a good time.

khooliha The grossness has nothing to do with the fatness either, though I could also do with less body shaming/hate. 5y

Not really a spoiler, but I want to lay my bet down now - the famous success story from the fit camp is the murderer.

I am going to try and... inhale fewer horror novels, but I'm not gonna stop breathing! I certianly cocked an eyebrow at the title and premise of this one, but I've been listening to the author's podcast and he seems quite thoughtful aad empathetic, so I'm excited!

A pretty good YA slasher book. Super high body count. The killer becomes obvious about half way through. Phil is a heroic teen and also grows as a person through out the book. I enjoyed the epilogue at the end, where we follow up with the survivors. I liked the hierarchy of bullies that the counselors talks about. It is an interesting theory I hadn't heard before, and it makes sense in the context of the story.
