The Obese by Nick Antosca
4.0

Brilliant social commentary; little on the short side. Nick Antosca has created multifaceted and strikingly realistic characters that reflect some heavy modern issues. The setting, too, is vividly portrayed, and the core concept of the book is great. Sadly, the plot fails to live up to the standards Antosca sets for himself--the book follows the generic survival-horror trope without much deviation. Also, it's too damn short. The addition of the story "Predator Bait" helps a little with this; its a cool story, also with strikingly realistic and multifaceted characters. All in all, a recommended read.
