Lee's talk reviewed as very thin? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skeletal

'very thin?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'lee's talk reviewed' is the wordplay.
'reviewed' is an anagram indicator (To look at again and re view).
'lees'+'talk'='leestalk'
'leestalk' with letters rearranged gives 'SKELETAL'.

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for skeletal that I've seen before include "pinched" , "Dreadfully thin" , "wasted" , "Very thin, emaciated" , "Pulchritude" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
