Isserley spends most of her time driving along empty, winding Highland roads in her red Toyota. She is interested in hitchhikers - so long as they are male, well-muscled and alone. But once she has coaxed them into her car, what she does to them is truly astonishing. Meeting Isserley is only the beginning of their journey, and a gateway to a new world. Cutting across different genres, Under the Skin is a wildly inventive, bold and beautifully written book that launched Michel Faber's international career and was shortlisted for the Whitbread First Book Award. And in Isserley, Faber created one of the most memorable and singular heroines of modern times.

Very interesting premise the woman as hunter in a real sense, I have read many books where the man is hunting a women sizing up her physical attributes etc reading it from a female perspective is unusual and uncomfortable I dont want to give to much away but I flew through it and enjoyed it immensely.

creepy
This book gave me the willies. It also gave me nightmares. No small feat, considering that I rarely even remember my dreams. The story unfolds very, (but not too) slowly, and subtly. Eventually, there is a horrifying revelation about who, and what, exactly the main character is, and what, exactly she does for a living. The author tells a good, scary story without the cheap tricks that horror writers like to use to scare their audiences.
I recommend it. I give it three stars because the writing style can be a little rough around the edges.
