Exercise Bike by Carlton Mellick III

findingmontauk1's review against another edition

5.0

*uncomfortably grinning ear to ear and shaking my head in disbelief* WHAT DID I JUST READ? I love some Mellick, don't get me wrong, but he continues to blow my mind with his creativity and imagination. He explores the wildest scenarios and somehow just makes them all mesh together so well. In this obese/overweight dystopia, you buy your meals with credit cards AND calorie cards. You read that correctly! You have a certain amount of calories you can purchase a day. And one way to get more is to insert your calorie card into an exercise bike. Our protagonist fills her caloric intake in a wild variety of ways and decides to get a special bike that can add 3x the amount of points to her calorie card than a normal exercise bike. And... it is crazy! See for yourself - but I will not be held responsible for your reactions or nightmares!
