A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness

A Monster CallsA Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Outright this book was heartbreaking. I turn into a weepy mess when I read books about cancer.

It was written very well, but I felt that it just missed the mark of being absolutely ground breaking. It was just short of the feelings of a thirteen year old would have, and the grief seemed that it was over exaggerated on the ex-husband's behalf. The Grandmother's emotions were, I think, spot on.
The monster was a brilliant concept, and he was so strange. His stories were horrifying.
