KIND of like The Unfortunate Importance of Beauty in it's wacky premise, but not nearly as good and not nearly as funny. And actually, it's a bit out of control. THE PROBLEM with Dietland is how black and white it presents fat-shaming and misogyny in society. Men are being murdered because of how they treat fat women, and the murderers are depicted as heroes. And of course, all men are bad, all skinny women are bad, all fat women are good. The fat main character is MEAN and hateful. She spends all of her energy spiting anyone she even imagines is judging her because of her weight. She doesn't even give people a chance. 
 I was intrigued enough to read on, but I didn't fall in love with anything about it. Still, I enjoyed reading it because I really had no idea where Sarai Walker was taking me. It was completely original and fresh, at least.
