Imagine being in a car accident, feeling all the pain that disaster can bring, feeling as if you have died and then waking up to find out that you are now inside a machine. The machine looks and sounds nothing at all like you used to. There is nothing left of your old self except some downloaded memories and history. Your body is gone, your voice is gone, your ability to eat, drink, use the bathroom, breath and feel... all gone. Your family did this to you because they couldn't bear to say goodbye to you and now none of them are happy with the decision they made. They start to realize that you, the machine, is not actually you. Maybe if it hadn't been an emergency and the bio-techs were able to create a machine that looked and sounded just like the old you, maybe then, people would accept "you" as you. Maybe they would want you around, your boyfriend wouldn't have broken your heart, your sister would still love you, your dad wouldn't cry and pray and your life would be the same. But it's not... your life is not what it used to be. Your friends are not your friends anymore. And you finally realize that there is no way you can continue to be around without accidentally hurting everyone you love. ... So... what now?
Guess I have to read CRASHED to find out.
SKINNED is a book I will never forget, and I hope the rest of the series is just as good.
