Creature of the Night by Kate Thompson
1.0

This is probably the only book I've ever really fully disliked. In my opinion, it's the worst book I've ever read. I read it as part of a school reading challenge and it annoyed the crap out of me. The main protagonist was an absolute pain. Maybe it's just that he's so opposite to me that I couldn't understand or sympathise with him. Also, the book didn't really have anything to do with the 'Creature of the Night' from the title. I think it was mentioned about three times, if that, and it was certainly nothing to do with the main plot. Basically, the boy and his mum move to the country and the boy's pissed off because he can't steal things or hang out with his friends, so he runs back to Dublin about four times, filling up most of the book, and realises at the end of it that his house has some kind of supernatural being living in it, but he's better off staying there anyway. Loathed it completely.
