Narrative As Books Skins: Summer Holiday (Skins #2)
This was MUCH better - the characters remain true to their screen counterparts - the writing has much more bite and satire to it - and this novelist is much more adept at dealing with social issues for young people. Some very dark - and possibly frightening issues are dealt with extremely well here - in a frank but never patronising manner - and in a style that fits perfectly with the series - also - in terms of what happens to the generation of Series 5 and 6, the events of the novel make perfect sense for future events - bravo - very well done indeed!Specify Books Toward Skins: Summer Holiday (Skins #2)

The 5th Series of Skins was outstanding. It was such a refreshing new group of individuals, and the storylines were just as unique. Honestly it had that warm, wholesome feel that Gen 1 did and was truly a cut above Gen 2. I really enjoyed the first Skins novel, which explored the Summer between 3rd and 4th series with Gen 2. It was extremely well written and provided a meaty backbone for Series 4.This Skins novel was lacking a little. While each of the characters were well written, I just feltAfter reading the previous generations book I was really excited to read this next one however after watching the Tv show and not being thoroughly impressed I hoped the book would be better... It wasn't. It was boring and lacked the skins spirit.
It was alright. But nothing close to the first book, which was awesome. The only ones I could read where frankie , liv and mini I found the rest too boring

Loved this book, read is as soon as series 5 finished and got it signed by Mini, Liv and the author at a book signing :-)
The only reason I gave this book 3 stars is for Franky's story, the only redeeming thing in this poorly edited book. Grace's storyline (storylines?) were lame, while Rich's was non-existent. Nearly the whole thing is from Mini's perspective, and as she's the least likeable in the bunch, it was pretty awful, particularly her use of words "gay" and "retarded". As far as continuity, I think that if the show has a TV tie-in, the writers of said show should read the novel, especially in the case of
