If you're a fan of Skins... you'll really enjoy this. -- Diva 20100201 Enjoyable. -- INIS 20101201
Product Description
This novel follows the 8 protagonists of series 3 and the forthcoming series 4 over the course of the college summer break. Brand new storylines, that don't feature in the series, or the upcoming film. Effy, Freddie, JJ, Cook, Naomi, Pandora, Thomas and Katie are all dealing with the aftermath of the events at the end of series 3. Effy has fled to Italy with her mum, where she tries to put her feelings for Freddie, and the guilt she feels for stealing him from Katie out of her mind. The perfect distraction come in the form of sophisticated older man, Aldo...Naomi and Emily are struggling with spending time apart when Em goes to France with her parents and battles with her stubborn twin sister, Katie. Back in Bristol, Naomi pines for Emily while wondering about her future education, Thomas and Pandora are sweetly in love, and finding it difficult to consummate their feelings for each other. Freddy and Cook are engaged in a vigorous game of sexual one-upmanship with a frustrated JJ as referee...By the end of the summer, the gang will have resolved some issues and brought up some more, but always in the raw, uncompromising, contradictory and authentic narrative style that makes the series so popular and compelling. WARNING: EXPLICIT CONTENT. Language and sexual references are graphic.

It's like the show, only written down! Skins the novel is awesome!,
By Shenteria Childs "SKINS FAN" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Skins Novel 1 (Paperback)
I started watching Skins late last year only being able to catch repeats of series 3 on BBC America. But instantly I fell in love with the show and craved more! So I find out there's Skins the novel and of course I got it right away. I was entertained from cover to cover, I could not put the book down! It has the same format as the show with each chapter following a different character til the final chapter titled "Everyone". I found every chapter fascinating and pulling me in as if I was watching the show itself. It has a period of 3 weeks throughout the book and it takes place during the summer after series 3.It starts off with the misadventures of Effy and her mom in Venice, we get to know another side of Effy but she always manages to sink back into certain habits. Then we see Naomi and Emily together just before Emily has to leave and be tortured by her twin Katie in France. I love the interaction between the twins you get to see a closeness that we've never seen before. Also there's a bit of sentiment in Katie that makes you feel for her and realize why she has up a shield towards certain people. Naomi misses Emily while she's away but she also wonders about her own future but plays it off so Emily wont get hurt. Thomas and Pandora are lovey dovey but Panda can't seem to get over the fact that Thomas isn't like Cook at all. He's a great guy that cares about her deeply but she's insecure and thinks he only wants one thing. Cook is up to his same old tricks of "I'm cool and I'm untouchable", but we all know how much of a facade that is. Freddie is the voice of reason as always putting Cook in his place and still longing to be with the girl of his dreams (you know who). JJ is stuck with his 2 bff's and has to referee between the two, but I want JJ to find that right girl for himself. That's just a bit of what's in the book, you have to read it to really understand what I mean. You will love it I think Ali Cronin did an amazing job with this book! As Lily Loveless (Naomi) said "It's like the show, only written down." So I wont spoil it for anyone but its a must read as it ties up all the loose ends leading into series 4 which has already started! So if you havent bought this yet its a must read for any true fan of Skins. You wont be disappointed! I'm so blown away by series 3 and Skins the novel that I still have yet to see series 1 and 2! I wish they would keep this cast goin, they're very fascinating! 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

A bit more graphic than the show, surprisingly,
By Chris Swanson "I'm just this guy, you know?" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Skins Novel 1 (Paperback)
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. |
