Under the Skin

A novel that starts deeply fascinating but loses steam about halfway through. I agree with some other reviewers that the book seems to slow down significantly after Amlis frees the vodsels and they're recuperated.

Still, Faber touches on themes of class, capitalism, veganism, misogyny, environmentalism ... If nothing else, Under the Skin is interesting for the sheer scope of topics integrated into Isserley's life.
