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.

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.
