#21 Big Brother by Lionel Shriver
This writer does a good job of creating very detailed characters but you don't always like them. A woman's brother comes to stay with her family for two months. She barely recognizes him since he's gained over two hundred pounds. She ignores the problem until she learns that he has nowhere to go. Then she initiates a drastic plan to help him lose weight.
This book brings up interesting questions such as to what lengths are we willing to go to in order to help a loved one. And what lengths should we go to.
