Under the Skin

Read this after seeing the movie–they sure are two different animals, both good in their own way, with different weaknesses.

This book had a haunting quality that I hadn't anticipated–there is a bit of heavy-handedness regarding animal rights stuff, which I'm sure was intentionally done, but aside from that it's got a lot going on, getting us to ask questions about identity, sexuality, our connections to others. The minimalist elements in it were appealing to me, and it has a strong, if a little abrupt, ending.
