Equal parts murder mystery, conspiracy theory, horror story, and social commentary, UNDER THE SKIN touches on deep issues of human nature, tolerance, and how mankind views itself and each other. This is a highly recommendable read. Wouldn’t suggest you read any spoilers beforehand though, the strangly unraveling thread is part of the intrigue. It’s ‘Animal farm’ for a new generation.
“A good bar is filled with good people, good atmosphere, and endless opportunities for drunken debauchery. A sad bar is filled with about five or six people who sit at the bar looking as if their souls have been crushed long ago, their faces a mixture of apathy and despair, giving off a vibe of ‘too lazy for suicide’. Here are those people’s favorite places to hang out, also known as the saddest bars to drink in.”
“A universe simple enough to be understood is too simple to produce a mind capable of understanding it.”
— Cambridge cosmologist John Barrow
