Fat by Rob Grant
Apr. 16th, 2010 08:20 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
”It’s unclear precisely when it became illegal to be fat.
Of course, technically, it’s not, even in this day and age. Even with the blatant persecution of all the tubbies, there’s no official legislation on any statute book that comes right out and says fatness is against the law.
But it is.”
Rob Grant’s new novel is both an hilarious satire on our readiness to devour “facts” and dodgy science along with our doughnuts and an unexpectedly moving story of the true cost of our obsession with how we look.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
It’s a fun read that made me laugh and does make you think about the obsession with obesity and diet.
