Book Review Monday- A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness| It'sCarenzaB

Hey Guys!
How are you?

Welcome to the final Book Review Monday of 2016. In this Book Review Monday I am going to be reviewing A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness, which I read fairly recently. Like all my other reviews it will be split into two sections, Non-Spoiler and Spoiler section.

A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness- Contains Spoilers

Non-Spoiler Thoughts

I decided to pick this up after seeing a review for the film and I read it in one day. It was one of the emotional reads I have ever read. I have the graphic version and the art work was stunning.

Cover Chat

I think that this cover is so beautiful and captures the mood of the story perfectly. Jim Kay's art is amazing.

This is my favourite picture from the story. I love how the pictures are all monochrome, they capture the mood of the story perfectly.

Plot

The monster showed up after midnight. As they do.But it isn’t the monster Conor’s been expecting. 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…This monster is something different, though. Something ancient, something wild. And it wants the most dangerous thing of all from Conor.It wants the truth.

This quote was taken from Goodreads and the average rating is 4.33/5.

Opinions

I gave this book 5/5 stars. I know I keep on doing this, but this book deserved 5/5 stars. This book was a super quick read. It was honestly the emotional book I have ever read and I am looking forward to seeing the movie. The artwork was stunning. I was so sad when the Mum died, but I could see that it was coming and it still upset me. I don't think I can put into words how much I loved this book and I want to talk about it all day.

So that is my final review of 2016. I hope you have enjoyed the reviews I have put up this year and I can't wait to put more up in 2017.
Love,
Carenza x
