When Jeremy Slank is called to see the Prime Minister, he soon discovers that he is wanted to work on a government project that intends to help overweight people to lose weight. The setting for the camp is like something out of Aushwitz, and Jeremy is expected to try to market this project to the general public, members of the public like celebrity chef Grenville Roberts, who has recently lost his job due to getting arrested for dangerous driving, and Hayleigh, a young school girl who can't so much as look in a mirror without being disgusted by what she sees.

This is a great little page turner from one of the co-creators of Red Dwarf, filled with colourful characters that the reader will soon grow to love. In spite of all their faults, the characters are appealing and make us as readers want to find out what will happen to them as we become ebgaged by their life stories. Hopefully Rob Grant will have another novel out soon, they are a little few and far between.
