skittyrreads 's review for:

Under The Skin by Michel Faber
4.0
dark emotional mysterious reflective tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was told very beautifully, I loved how subtle everything was and how so much is implied- I also like it because it's set in Scotland and i'm Scottish lmfao (what can I say base things like that reach out to me.) Thought Isserley was a fantastic, complex main character and the themes explored here (sexism, consumption and class) were done very well.
