Book Rating
The Boy Who Drew Monsters is a slow-burn of a novel. It never really picks up but it sort of meanders through interpersonal relationships, mental illness and Asperger's, a touch of horror, and plenty of atmosphere. While I wasn't wowed by the book, I liked it well enough and would read another Donohue book.

Overly Simplistic and glorifying view of Van Gogh (0 more)
There are moments that are beautiful in terms of the cinematography and the storytelling, but the glorification of every element of Van Gogh's life creates a problematic interpretation of a man who suffered from mental illness.
