A Monster Calls: Inspired by an idea from Siobhan Dowd by Patrick Ness, Patrick Ness

5.0

Books often affect me. It's one of the main reasons why I am the bookworm I am. But every so often a really special book comes along, one that punches me straight in the gut, crossing that divide between making me teary and making me weep. This book made me weep. Ness has such a talent for making readers feel things, and I'm going to try to address that more later.

For now, I'll say this is a deeply affecting book about grief, and having recently faced grief myself, I really, really felt this book.
