skelleychase 's review for:
A Monster Calls
by Patrick Ness
Books do not normally make me cry, but this one had me ugly crying at the end.
As a storyteller I loved it, the 3 stories that the monster tells were so deep, all the ties to the yew tree, it was just wonderful.
However because of the subject matter of this book I would not recommend it to young teens, and you really should block of some time in your calendar to both read and then process this book before moving on to the next thing. Weeks (and books later) I am still thinking about it and it will remain one of those books I remember, like The Giver.
I am not sure if I will see the movie or not, in some ways I want to see what they have done with it, and in others perhaps it is best left in my head. After all the Monster You Call is not always the one you think you are going to get.....
