A review by nyx89
The Boy Who Drew Monsters by Keith Donohue

2.0

Really did not like the author's style. Dialogue was stilted. Author obviously abused a thesaurus at times. Characters were almost all unlikable, except, ironically, for Nick. Ending was interesting, but I figured it out about 2/3rds of the way through. There are way better horror novels out there. This one was just too slow for my tastes. Honestly, nothing much really happens throughout the whole novel. There's really no plot, and some major elements of the story just get dropped before the end with no resolution or closure. Also, who the eff names their kid Jack Peter? And his many other obnoxious nicknames...J.P...even Jip? Jip, really? Shouldn't be such a huge deal, but it irked me through the whole novel. I'm being rather generous by giving this 2 stars. It's really more like 1.5. Give this one a pass.
