I'm a shocking skim-reader too, but I found the style of writing used in "The Lovely Bones" lends itself very well even to skim reading (I only once had to go "huh?" and turn back 2 pages). I think it's written in a very inclusive way, which can be rather uncomfortable given the story itself, but it's completely mesmerising. Un-put-downable! Enjoy.
