Gain Access To Skin (The X-Files, #6) Created By Ben Mezrich Disseminated As Pamphlet

as good as the show This is the first XFiles book I've ever read, and it was pretty decent, I wish it had a creepier monster, and it was missing the banter between Mulder and Scully that I love so much, But it was written well enough to keep my interest, Meh. Maybe I just wasnt in the mood for an XFiles book I thought I was when I checked it out from the library but this one did t really hold my attention.
This book was decent. definitely not as fast paced as other xfiles books I've read, but the story fit the xfiles universe and it was well written, My favorite of this series ofbooks,.stars
This book is a bit of a chaotic adventure mess, but better than some of the other books in this series, Racing from the tunnels of NYC to the tunnels beneath Thailand, this book never really hits stride to develop into a concise storyline, Overall it felt like reading two very different books that were only connected by the thinnest of threads,
That being said, both parts of the book were interesting, I highly preferred the Thailand section, but the humanization of the characters in the first part of the book was well written, A really well written tiein novel that could easily stand alone as a thriller in its own right, The characters have depth and you can hear the voices of the actors from the TV series, It also a believable XFile and you could imagine it being developed as an episode,

In summary, I was nicely surprised by this and its my favourite of the series, The medical sections early on are so poorly written and handled, The dialogue is all wrong and nothing about Mulder and Scully's interactions feels remotely authentic to the show, I can't even finish this book it's so bad, Unterhaltsame XAkte: Scully und Mulder sind gut getroffen, die Handlung passt thematisch in die Serie und hier und da versüßen wortreiche Figuren und Situationsbeschreibungen das Lesen.
Zum Ende hin kann man sich vom Finale einfach mitziehen lassen, Empfehlenswert, kurzweilig. I've never seen the XFiles TV show nor read a book based on it prior to 'Skin', but I was pleasantly surprised, In my mind, 'XFiles' 'aliens' and aliens aren't necessarily something that appeals to me when I'm searching for a subject of my next book, The description for 'Skin' however sounded like it could be a medical thriller with a paranormal twist, and was worth giving a chance, I intentionally avoided researching the XFiles any further than my limited base knowledge, figuring the book would steer me in whatever direction and if it became too weird for my taste, so be it.
Turns out, it ended up being the medical thriller I hoped for, and I like that the character of Scully is a physician who looks for the scientific reasoning for certain events, a counter agent Mulder's belief in influence from the realm of the unknown.
Mulder's perspective wasn't too far our for my liking, and I found the book as a whole enjoyable,
A mildmannered college professor is injured in a lab accident and requires a skin graft to treat his burns, Upon waking from the surgery, he is a different man, imbued with a superhuman strength and a clouded mind that leads to the death of one of the nurses caring for him and him fleeing the hospital into the night.
Scully is convinced the skin donor had a communicable disease that infected the professor, although she's never seen one cause such dramatic effects so soon after the transplant.
Mulder of course has his own opinion on the situation, especially when they discover the donor's body is no longer in the morgue and that the two doctors who did the harvest of the skin have themselves fallen ill.
From there, the investigation takes the two agents overseas to Thailand, where local legend tells of a 'Skin Monster' who lashes out with fury anytime humans disturb its perpetual slumber.

Overall, I would certainly read another XFiles book that blurs the lines between scifi and medical thriller, and may add the television series to the long list of television shows to eventually binge watch should I find myself with a ton of free time on my hands.
A great book! full of thrill, adventure and some banter between Mulder and Scully, Very interesting and exciting. I love the X Files but I know when I read a novel about Agents Mulder and Scully certain things will occur, They will attain no real growth as characters by the end of the book, They will have obtained no hard evidence to support whatever investigation they are involved in, They will emerge unscathed from whatever peril they face, All that is because this type of series is all about hitting the reset button so you can come back for another equally thrilling and eerily similar adventure later.
What works in series television works in series fiction, right Skin is the last of six original XFiles novels released during the early seasons of the programI honestly did not know it existed until I stumbled upon it for a quarter recently.
I am happy to say I got my money's worththe novel reads like a really good episode of the show without any of the budget constraints that sometimes limited it.
Skin follows the formula I laid out above but since I am such a big fan of the series I will note my gripes but tell you the truth I enjoyed the book nonetheless.
It really took me back, in a good way, plus author Ben Mezrich peppers things up not only with some good turns of phrase but also with some interesting plot twists.
I think if you remain an XFiles fan, as I do, you'll like this little trip down memory lane, I thoroughly loved this book, Reading it was like watching one long episode of "The XFiles, " Mezrich got the characters spot on and as the pace quickened, I couldn't put the book down, Very good and a definite must for any XPhile out there, I really enjoyed the concept, but I wish the

villain had some more substance, Don't miss this thrilling book in the series based on the Emmy Award winning television show The XFiles!
