Format:Paperback
Skin is such a funny book and I was extremly shocked to find that it had not yet been read. Many people recoginse Roald Dahl as a childrens author but he has a talent for writing teen and adult books. Skin is one of these. It is a collection of stort stories each with a witty ending and all of the stories are very amusing. I would strongly reccomend this book to all ages above 10. It really was the best book I have read in a long time - if you have not read it I promise you that you are missing out. Also, "someone like you" and "switch Bitch" are very good but the best really does have to be skin. Read it and you will NOT regret it!

Format:Hardcover
These stories are quite different to Roald Dahl's childrens books, however they will not disappoint his fans. Rather, they will see him from a different angle. The stories have a twist in their tail and make you think.
