This is quite possibly the strangest experience I've ever years. At first, I really wasn't sure how I felt about this. I didn't find it boring and it wasn't a struggle to get through. I thought the writing was poetic and beautiful, but I felt no really connection to the story at all. I felt nothing for the situations and characters. I didn't care about Isserley. However, around the second half, I actually started to really get into "Under The Skin". For some reason, I really started to care. I found Isserley and her situation to be completely heartbreaking. I think, on a re-read, I could really learn to love this.
