Skinned

By Robin Wasserman

Surfing through uploads, (on no other than the fabby wattpad site) I came across Skinned - Skinned (1). Not knowing much other than it was a book, I clicked it. At first I had no idea what was going on, but the more I read, the more I became hooked. Instantly I was pulled in the mind of Lia, and the more the story unfolds, a strong connection forms. Lia can no longer ‘feel’ as others do. A simple touch, an emotion; she understands and knows their meaning, but it is nothing more than calculations processed through her brain. Because Lia, is a machine. No longer human, she tries to grasp her new life. The book captures, and I almost ‘felt’ what Lia was feeling. Her turmoil, her battle with what she has become, the absence that filled her. It makes you appreciate the simple pleasures in life. The smell of summer rain. The taste of sweetness. The warmth of the sun. The beat of your heart. Most of all, the shedding of tears.

I Love this book-A real deep insight on the power of belief and free will. Discovering the inner development of ones own understanding in the value of emotions and simple things many take for granted.
