A Monster Calls by Patrick NessMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I listened to this book on audio & to my surprise I thoroughly enjoyed the experience (I'm biased to reading a book over listening to it because I often dislike how some narrators interpret some of the characters.) Anyway, this is about as finely crafted a book as you could wish for. The writing is phenomenal. The emotional journey is honest and heartbreaking and redemptive all at once. The book appears to be fantastical in nature, but it has more of a feel of a realistic fiction book in it's subject, pacing, and style. It's not a happy tale, but a very cathartic one and well worth the reading, at least once, for just about anyone.
