intense. emotional yet managed to make me smile at some points.

This is easily the most gruesome and explicit book I've ever read.  Heim's descriptive powers are a double edged sword when it comes to telling this story.  The abuse is painfully detailed and often had me physically recoiling from the book, but I was drawn back in with the beautiful descriptions of rural Kansas and the characters that inhabited it. Mysterious Skin will undoubtedly haunt me forever.
