Discuss A Monster Calls here!

I've been looking forward to reading this book all year. It'll be my first experience with Patrick Ness or Siobhan Dowd, but I've heard good things about both of them.

Oh I didn't realize there were two authors. Siobhan's books look actually pretty good. Bog Child looks familiar.

Why is this here and not in the monthly reads section? Just curious.

Also, I've wanted to read this! Since I read The Knife of Never Letting Go, I've been interested in this author. I'll have to try and get this from my library.

Oops! Didn;t even notice. Thanks, I'll fix it.
Oh wow. Impressive so this must be popular for a reason.
Awesome! How's the writing going?

Oh, it's not going. at all. haha! I didn't have a firm enough idea in my head at the beginning of the month. Oh well. I have tons of schoolwork I need to be doing anyways. :P

Oh well. The semester's about to end with me so I can now look forward to a lot of studying time...

Oh my... this book was a masterpiece. Just breathtaking. Dark, real, but also not so dark. It was put together perfectly and it does what books do best - it sent me into it's world, made me care for the characters, and ultimately left a piece of my heart with them. Everyone must read this. This is the type of book that you have to buy so you can keep it in your collection to read anytime you want. Definitely going to read the Chaos Walking trilogy now.

I'm going to start this when I'm finished the first LOTR book. I'm really looking forward for it!

You will be pleasantly surprised by how well done it is (:

Finished! Here's my review:

Let me start by saying that this book is gorgeous. Straight up, Jim Kay's illustrations in this book are amazing. I loved them so much. They would make good poster prints to hang on a wall.
The story was good as well. It was difficult for me to read, because my grandpa has cancer and is living with us right now. So Connor's story hit very close to home, and the ending brought me to tears. I loved the emotion in this book, and the characters were brilliant. The monster was awesome. The idea of the monster was awesome. Connor was an excellent character as well. He was easy to relate to and easy to sympathize with. I liked him a lot.
This is a great book, and I definitely highly recommend it.

I saw this on reading challenge group (:
I knew you would love it. Fireworks are needed for this book! I want some awards here.

Fireworks! haha ;)

Have I told you lately how awesome you are (;

lol nope, but I love hearing it. xP
