That said, I really did enjoy <i>Skinned</i> though, and it definitely touches on some meaty issues, though I wish it delved into some with more depth. I think my main issue was with how DONE the machine/human discrimination felt to me, but that's just a personal preference! For what it's worth, I really appreciated Ms. Wasserman's ballsiness with keeping things bleak and decidedly un-cookie cutter perfect. I loved Zo and Lia's relationship in particular, as well as the ending. <br /><br />So...yeah, I'm pretty darn excited for <i>Crashed</i>!

I hadn't thought about the depression angle, but that's definitely something to look out for when doing my pre-Crashed reread.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06483030255023873716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109955980329789216.post-87467134528810202972009-09-02T03:31:51.741+10:002009-09-02T03:31:51.741+10:00I am looking forward to reading this and Crashed v...I am looking forward to reading this and Crashed very soon!!Lenore Appelhanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664671644163369772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109955980329789216.post-26539697020877751092009-09-02T01:56:19.391+10:002009-09-02T01:56:19.391+10:00Wow, this sounds good!
