In truth, I don’t want this review to go into thorough detail like I usually do with most books. No, I do not think that I am on a Ness binge (but damn is he rising up the ranks in favesies).īut let’s get onto the more important issue: why is the plain-text version of this book more expensive than the one with art? At least, I’m pretty sure it’s like a buck more for zero art. – Unless you’re a robot, you will likely f eel all the emotions tied to the stages of loss and grief

– The writing is simple and powerful don’t be fooled at this being advertised as kid-lit – If you are interested in this book in any capacity, skip all reviews and just delve into it (the copy with the artwork specifically) (re: Goodreads A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness ) Should this book be picked up? the tl dr spoiler-less review: And it wants the most dangerous thing of all from Conor. This monster is something different, though. He’s been expecting the one from his nightmare, the one he’s had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments, the one with the darkness and the wind and the screaming… As they do.īut it isn’t the monster Conor’s been expecting. Author: Patrick Ness, Jim Kay (Illustrator)
