A Monster Calls

"It was a good read"

"This book will have permanent residence in my head. This is such a beautiful book about such a tough topic from the perspective of a child "

"Holy I did not expect this book. So beautiful. Slightly predictable but worth the read, and it's not long at all."

"What can I say about this book it made me feel scared, thoughtful, triumphant, and heartbreak. I enjoyed it most definitely so much so I read it 2 times in the same month. It brings you in and keeps you there while you try to figure out why the Monster came walking. This story is touching and fierce and makes you want to wreck havoc on the world lol. I loved it very much.<br/><br/>Updated: Reread this book again it's almost October just that time of year for this book. Iv never had a character that while reading there lines the very words ring in my bones if that makes since at all. The monster words are so well written even when in short phrases shoot thru your very being. I just love this tale. I feel like we all have a monster inside of us begging to get out and set the world in order. The audiobook is amazing as well but the original has some beautiful illustrations. I just had to get both."

"A quick and easy read. The story was heartbreaking, eerie and beautiful all at the same time. I love the fact that it included pictures. I felt like a kid again and it really helped me create a picture in my mind of what was going on. 7/10"

"absolutely gut wrenching. i’m a mess "

"DNF. I didn’t realize it was juvenile fiction. "

"So sad. My friend who lost her husband said this book helped her children. Beautiful and sad all wrapped up together."

"Oh, yeah, read this if you want to cry for the next half hour THANKS (but, seriously, it's a good little story)"
