Now brace yourself, your about to read something from me that you may never see again. Ready? This book made me cry. Normally no matter how sad I hold it together, and normally the books I chose range more on the scary adventure side rather than emotional. Hence why the title and cover of this boo...
Oh my lord! This book took me by surprise. I sure wasn't expecting this book to make me cry. I just picked it up and couldn't put it down. Just, it was perfect. I literally can ask for nothing more from a book than what A Monster Calls provides. I honestly went into this book thinking it was going t...
Well, it's good a read it at home. I'm certainly not fit to be in public. That was really something. For a short book aimed at mid-schoolers, it certainly packs a punch. More to come as soon as I can regain some equanimity.
Ouch. Ouch in a good way, that meant I read this in a little under an hour on the bus ride home, and fought to keep from crying. Sad, painful, and very real. It reminded me a lot of the comic [b:I Kill Giants|6435893|I Kill Giants|Joe Kelly|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1356121155s/643...
I'm torn about this book. I can't say I enjoyed reading it, but I did. I know that makes zero sense but that's all I've got. Did I even like it? Will I remember it? Was it tragically beautiful? Yes, yes, and yes. But I still just feel meh. Honestly, I wrote a review yesterday and BL ate it...
I feel kind of torn about how to rate and review this one. Did I like it? Sure. Was it a favorite? No. For about the first 3/4 of the book, I was a little bored, even though the writing was good. I felt like I knew where we were going with the story and I was just waiting for the hurt to come. The l...
I've actually given up writing a review for this book because all my previous attempts were just vicious cycles of cheesing myself off, feeling like a poser, anxiety, then depression because trying to remember my first Patrick Ness experience was just all sorts of thorny in my throat (why did that j...
Hang on. Let me wipe this wetness from my eyes. I don’t know what most affected me about this book: the author’s posthumous influences, the endearing story, my mother’s tenure in the oncology ward, or my own near-death experiences. Maybe it’s just a blend of everything, but maybe it’s the author’s p...
You know, it sucks being in the minority with the people that didn't enjoy this book much while everyone else did. It does; and I really want to like this book too. A Monster Calls is not a story about the paranormal; it's about being invisible, bullying, and having a mother with cancer.A Monster Ca...
Read along with Cecile. Unfortunately neither of us liked it. My motto should be “I don’t fucking get it”. Maybe I’ll change my name. Litchick (who doesn’t fucking get it). Can I drop the f-bomb in my GR name? I’m not sure. Maybe if I put q’s in there it’ll be less offensive. Litchick (who doesn’t f...
