this book made me cry....i couldnt put it down. the book touches subjects that question the mind; it made me feel sorry for both brian and neil, and the fact that one man scarred them for life. Scott hiem is a great writter and challenges the minds of all of his readers.

Normally it doesnt matter how bad a book is i can always read it through to the end. But this book was truely awful, i couldnt bare to finish the last little bit i had left. So dull, uninteresting and if i were you i would keep your money in your pocket and choose another book.

scott heim's masterpiece
|
Scott Heim is an author with so much to say, and he presents his story with such passion and detail that you would almost think his fictional characters illustrated in Mysterious Skin, are flesh and blood individuals like you and I. But isn't that the secret idealogy of fiction? To make the reader feel like they are experiencing a real and believable world? You decide.
Mysterious Skin is an original and imaginative representation of the effects of child abuse, and although the author is graphic in his writing, his style offers a very unique way of bringing ordinary characters to an exciting new level.
The story concerns two male characters and their journey to discover a truth about their past and who they really are, but I don't want to reveal too much as I may spoil it for new eyes.
After finishing the book I realised how much emotion I had felt for these two characters, and yes I admit it, it was a heartbreaking yet satisfying read. I urge anyone to read this book, even if books aren't really your thing, you should consider this an exception!!!! Hey who knows, it may change your life.

A touching story, with a fantastic ending, READ IT!

Daring, controversial, intelligent, beautiful, emotional, these are just a few of the words to describe this masterpiece. From the beginning it has you gripping the next page, wondering were the characters path in life will next take its turn. There are also points in the book that arguably could be edited, although the fact that they remain, makes this book seem even more of a work of art. Its rawness and beauty make it original and well worth a read. I hope to be reading more books from this amazing author in the near future.

A MUST READ
|
|
I recommend this book to anyone! true at first it can be a bit weird reading it - especially in chapter 2, and you have to make sure that no-one is looking over your shoulder! But as the story continues you can't help but find yourself falling in love with all 3 guys, if only Neil could see how much Eric loves him!
