Loved the Brisbane setting, with such familiar suburbs and shopping centres and so on, and the idea had merit, but it went a bit too far down the rabbit hole for me and became too weird. Add to that the frequent swearing, and it wasn’t really my cup of tea.

Currently, the lasting effect of this book on me, is that now, as I drive around Brisbane, I notice more tattoo parlours!!

I felt like Skin Deep was a lot better than the first one. Still disgusted and disappointed that the racist comment was repeated on numerous occasions with no repercussions.

The story was interesting and the progression of Stephen slowly losing complete control of his aspects was interesting to read about, and the distress he felt was conveyed extremely well.
