“The Skin Map” by Stephen R. Lawhead was an interesting and unusual read. An adventurous tale begins when Kit Livingston’s life is unexpectedly altered by the appearance of his great grandfather. This complex story follows the characters on a journey involving a multi-layered universe that is connected by secret pathways. The search is on to find and compile pieces of a map tattooed on one person’s skin that reveals the mysteries of these pathways.
This is the first book I have read by this author, and I enjoyed it. The author presents a complex and mysterious story that kept me actively engaged for the entire book. At times I had to read sections twice to fully understand all that occurs, as the overall concept of the book was so foreign to me and unlike anything else I have personally read or known about. I found myself at times getting bogged down in trying to understand all the details but once I had the basic framework of the plot down I was able to let go and enjoy the twisting ride. In the end I was still left with several questions, and I look forward to reading the next book in this series. I recommend this book if you enjoy fiction books that are unique and full of adventure.
