I must say, reading Green made me seriously consider bumping you down a notch on my list of favorite authors.  But just so you know, you’re back up there again.

Skin is pure genius.

I absolutely can’t understand how you do it.  Even reading with the knowledge that there would be one of your signature twists at the end, I couldn’t for the life of me guess what it would be.  And on top of the brilliant plot, riveting story, and fabulous characters, you throw in a deeper theme that makes it all even better.  How many contemporary novels tackle the theme of beauty?

This doesn’t make Green any more acceptable to me.  But know that I spent all day yesterday reading Skin, and all evening ranting about its awesomeness.

Thanks.
