One of the most emotionally draining books I have ever read. I recently viewed the trailer for the coming movie based on this book. Rarely do I like movies based off of books I love. I'm not going to judge this movie without seeing it. Considering the emotional context of the book, I'm not sure I...

This story is by no means a horror novel. It may be scary to some younger readers, but it was definitely not sc...

I hate cancer books. I didn't know. I finished it anyway. I sobbed through the end. Which is why I hate cancer books. Patrick Ness is the author of the Chaos Walking Trilogy--the number one best and tragically unknown YA Dystope that exists. On that merit alone, I picked up A Monster Call...
