Book Reviews of Skins
Book Review: A bit more graphic than the show, surprisingly
Summary: 4 Stars
I really enjoy "Skins". I don't like the current cast as much as I liked the first, but I still like them and look forward to series 3 on DVD (Hello? Anyone in charge of this? When is that going to happen, please? I don't want to have to order a region 2 set!).
This novel has everything in it that I like from the show, including all the characters, a nice bit of naughtiness and plenty of humor, though the jokes don't really work as well on the printed page as they work on the screen.
Everyone you know and love from there series is here and up to all their usual antics. Cook and Freddie are in a bizarre content to see who can hook up with the most girls with poor JJ as a judge (and just wait until you see what happens when Cook suggests a threesome with him, Freddie and a girl). Between sexual encounters Freddie mopes around being all emo. Meantime, his would-be girlfriend, Effy, is in Venice also moping around and being emo, though not having nearly the same level of sex.
Someone who is getting the same level of sex, and then some, is Katie, still struggling to deal with Emily's relationship with Naomi. The two sisters are off in France while Naomi is at home pining away.
And as for Panda and Thomas? Well, they might as well not even be in the story, honestly. They're pushed far to the background and hardly do anything, though their relationship does move forward a bit.
This isn't the greatest book ever written, but it is a good extension to series three and something to hold me over until series four comes along.
