A Monster Calls: Patrick Ness

Reviews

Sally Goh

The monster is a manifestation of Conor’s grief & fears, & only by telling his truth can he finally let go & move on. I've finished it in 2 and a half hours on my journey home. This is especially true when it comes to the third story because of the way that story is depicted, as the story starts to become one with reality there is this almost surreal feeling of you becoming one with the book. it was not wrong, it was only a thought, one of a million.

It is the kind of paper that is very heavy and the reason why this book is heavier than books with three times the number of pages. The way this story unfolds is very revealing because as you read further the more the story moulds your understanding of it, till the point that you become the story and everything written starts feeling like it is already written on your brain. How it's ok to be scared and imperfect.

by speaking the truth. This book is very captivating and the way it has been packaged really helps set the atmosphere.

and your mind will punish you for believing both. I also feel like I might have come across these books by way of its illustrator Jim Kay who is now famous for illustrating the Harry Potter books, but yeah, though it is a nice coincidence the fact that I am continually shocked by the fact that I am actually familiar with the work of this book's illustrator keeps coming as a shock to me. your mind will contradict you.
