This is one book you want to read without knowing much about it. However, that makes writing a review for this book a hell of a task because I can't tell you about the salient points of this book that are both scary and funny at the same time. And there were so many aspects modern life that Fabe...
This wasn't for me, for me the message (what if another race looked at us as cattle, and slaughtered us like that, fattening us up for a few months beforehand) was more important than the story and that turns me off in a book. Isserley cruises the roads in Scotland picking up hitch-hikers to bring ...
Sometime in March Craig posted on our book group Facebook page the following message:“Hello Group,At the risk of sounding alarmist, I want to alarm you all.I am currently rereading Under The Skin for about the sixth time, and I noticed today from tube adverts that the film adaptation is out March 14...
The edition I read included a foreword by David Mitchell. Though clearly he tried not to, he let slip two spoilers. Major spoilers.

Yet another one of those "I don't even know where to start with this book"I like to cite some of the plot in my reviews, because I use these reviews to remember some of the more important points, but this book absolutely *should not* be spoiled. It's a solid book, but better if you get to enjoy it ...

She calls humans , "vodsels". Because where she's from, she is the higher life form so of course, she's "human". (...
I’m very happy to have had only the slightest idea what this was about when I started reading it. I thought it was a psychological thriller by the author of [b:The Crimson Petal and the White|40200|The Crimson Petal and the White|Michel Faber|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348171760s/40200.jpg|121002...
This is a book that keeps its secrets. I spent a good chunk of it uncertain as to what was actually happening, but it's written well enough that I was happy to be lost.
