Have you ever read a book that felt like it was written for you? Well, that's how I feel about Emergency Skin. I'm so used to disappointments, I cannot believe this book actually exists, and boy, am I glad it does.I got the book on Amazon with Audible narration, because many people were praising Jason Isaacs' reading. I think he did a fantastic job and since the whole story is told through dialogue, it all felt like an episode of a sci fi show.I don't want to spoil the plot, so I'll simply talk about my general impressions. The story is constructed in a clever way, where you gradually learn more about what's going on, which is one of my favorite styles of narrative. It's also very topical and relevant to our world today.I think the best part about it is the emotional impact the story leaves. It's not a pessimistic story; it's one full of hope. And hope is what we all need in the face of a possible climate catastrophe.My reviews for the other Forward stories:Summer Frost by [a: Blake Crouch 442240 Blake Crouch https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1479398727p2/442240.jpg] ★★★★★Ark by [a: Veronica Roth 4039811 Veronica Roth https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1544540525p2/4039811.jpg] ★★★★☆You Have Arrived at Your Destination by [a: Amor Towles 4536964 Amor Towles https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1472937967p2/4536964.jpg] ★★★★☆The Last Conversation by [a: Paul Tremblay 648612 Paul Tremblay https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1415058580p2/648612.jpg] ★★★☆☆Randomize by [a: Andy Weir 6540057 Andy Weir https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1382592903p2/6540057.jpg] ★★★☆☆
