Young Skins: Stories by Colin Barrett

2.0

I had expected a lot more of this given the hype. I got through it far too fast - not that it's a page turner but you end up reading more to unveil an actual plot or selling point. There is none really. None of the characters are particularly memorable. It gives off a semblance of grittiness when in fact it's just mundane and common sense driven. It tells the reader everything that was abundantly obvious before reading.
