Ayden H’s Reviews > A Monster Calls > Status Update

I can visualize when "the monster changed the shape of its hands even further, making the nest of leaves Conor was lying on even more comfortable" (Ness, page 191). The most vivid sense is touch, because we can almost feel the softness of the leaves. Patrick Ness uses this sensory detail to show Conor's exhaustion and the monster's strange comfort.

I learned that my characters identity is shaped by him hallucinating when the monster comes, hes mom is super sick, they have only one more treatment left and if it doesn't work she could pass away, and he gets bullied at school but a kid named harry doesn't beat him up but his friends do. So what does harry see in him?

A question i have is: Is he dreaming or hallucinating whenever it hits 12:07

i looked at the timer when there was 6 minutes left because i was thinking about the clues the book was giving me.

one question i have is: Why Does Conor give the monster attitude even though the monster could eat him or kill him any second?

Why is the monster only talk to him in his dreams and what does he want from him?

Why does Ness not like to sleep on the settee when his grandma comes?
