hannahjhope 's review for:

Mysterious Skin by Scott Heim
2.0

Basic, uninteresting writing masked by shocking content. I should have just watched the film. The endless paragraphs about alien abduction and "it wasn't a UFO, but something...else," had me banging my head against a wall.

Very little character growth or development, (I recognize this is somewhat intentional, arrested development and all that,) but this story was ACHING for some and it was nil.
