SKIM

I enjoyed this book, although I was surprised at how easy a read it was. I read it in about an hour. However, I expected it to be much different than it was. On the front cover it mentions that it won some sort of children's book award. But after reading the book, I would in no way consider it to be for children. The characters say "fuck" waaaay too many times for it to be appropriate for kids. I would say it's more "young adult" than "children". I could see kids in high school reading this, MAYBE even middle school. But when I think children's books, I think of things like Clifford, or Dr. Seuss. Not Skim. However, for the purposes of our class, I enjoyed it. It was a nice change from standard books.
