Changes

Note: Wow. I wrote this review more than a decade ago. Since then, Skellig has been chosen as a ''Times Educational Supplement'' Teachers' Top 100 Book. It's been adapted into a play directed by Trevor Nunn, an opera, and a film starring Tim Roth. It's sold more than 1 million copies. David Almond wrote a prequel, [[My Name Is Mina by David Almond|My Name Is Mina]], which was shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal. And now it's been reissued in a beautiful 15th anniversary edition, clothbound and including essays, William Blake poems and a short story. It's an heirloom edition. Really. Reading back this review, I ''know'' it doesn't do ''Skellig'' justice. If you haven't already, you should read it. Whoever you may be.
