What can be said about this book? It is so profound. The writing is superb--it's sparse, meaning that every word used is important and counts for something and furthers the goal of telling the story. It is an incredibly moving story as well, I sobbed at the end. This would be great for anyone dealing with grief, but they'd have to be ready for it.

Dammit! This book made me cry on the subway. Not ugly cry (though I'd forgive you if you did), but real tears and some sniffling. The story follows Connor O'Malley, a boy who is dealing with his mother's cancer, school bullies, and an absent father. One dark night, a monster appears at his window... and what happens next is a love story to stories and a deeply poignant, funny, and creepy coming of age story about life and death.
