Cassie Osbourne (6 KP) rated A Monster Calls in Books
Nov 9, 2018
Several difficult and sensitive subjects handled very well and delicately without shying away from the reality. The Monster teaches such important lessons that are good for children and adults who have forgotten. Lessons about good and evil, humanity and most importantly letting go and moving on in the face of despair. Beautiful, just beautiful

Loved this book! It has everything you could want from a thriller; fast paced, excellent story line, brilliant characters and great setting. Scarily, in the world in which we live, I can see this not being beyond the realms of reality!! Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest and unbiased review.

I loved how they found a sanctuary, but it was a pretty messed up story. I wasn't sure if the hidden things that were the reason for blindfolds were supposed to be brownies or some other supernatural being. It was a really good reality of how life could be when society does fall.

Read this in one day! I loved the premise of this novel and the mystery. It is science fiction but based somewhere close to reality. The characters don't fly around in spaceships or anything like that. This was a fast read and really grabbed my attention. I'm looking forward to the sequel coming out in December!

Brutal reality
This was an all absorbing read. I was surprised at how grim some of the content was but it only painted the truth of Tara’s life and experiences. The journey Tara had from uneducated to educated was something quite inspirational. I think this is going to be quite memorable.
Great narration on the audiobook.
