The Fat Years

This, while thought-provoking on some levels, really didn't pack much punch. The characters discover the mystery of a missing month, and are determined work it out, and yet, the author just kind of has them walk through it, like not much happened. In the end, it IS a very poignant story about mass hysteria and the lengths some governments might be willing to go (or currently ARE implementing) to cover up dirty little secrets that might very well tear down the very fabric of society if citizens were determined enough to face it straight on.
