yamakimoto 's review for:
Mysterious Skin
by Scott Heim
For a book with a dark and disturbing subject, it didn't seem too melodramatic. The author wrote with some restraint and allowed the story to naturally unfold. I really liked that. This in turn made some parts a little predictable and I’m sure readers figured some things out before some of the characters were able to, but that wasn’t necessarily always a bad thing! It made the characters realistic. I think both characters didn’t see the truth because they didn’t want to believe and accept it as truth. And, wow, that final scene was really satisfying!!
(I did think Neil remembered Brian a little too quickly, though. I also wish the moments in which he experienced shifting views of his relationship with Coach were a little more drawn out.)
