I LOVE IT SO MUCH AND I AM NOW UNABLE TO WORD SO I WILL BE BACK LATER TO SHOUT ABOUT ALL THE FEELINGS
*forewarning* Please don't expect any sort of coherent review it ain't going to happen xD
And I am back. Things I loved:
- Conor's character growth and development
- The storytelling being sieved in perfectly with what was happening in the present say scene
- The Monster and his lessons
- The tone of the story and the beautiful writing for being both simple and have so much meaning
- The illustrations
If you've been recommended this book of just stumbled across it, read it. It's one of the books that is both simple and elegant that it trancededs age, it's illustrated but adult, the feelings and emotions are there, you know that this isn't going to be a fun happy story but the writing drags you down and taps you into the emotions making you angry, sad, mad, frustrated.
Also for anyone that mistakes the cover and thinks this is horror, it's a sad and scary story but not a horror in the usual sense of the word.

This has been the first book this year to make me sob. Uncontrollably.
This is BEAUTIFULLY written. The illustrations were beautiful. Everything was beautiful. I recommend this to anyone who needs healing. My soul is surprisingly comforted and I'm glad I have something to fall back on in times of need. I know this book will be considered a classic in 50 years.

Fácil de leer y lleno de sensibilidad, una historia cruda pero que refleja una gran lección. Lo que he llorado.
