Patrick Ness A Monster Calls
A Monster Calls, a fiction novel by Patrick Ness, would be rated a 9 out of 10 because it was a beautifully written book that grabbed hold of the audience’s attention and never let it go, but the ending could have been better. This book was chock-full of heart-wrenching, emotion inflicting scenes that could make the most stone cold person cry. The way that Patrick Ness brought Siobhan Dowd’s idea to life was extraordinary. Not only was Patrick Ness able to make an amazing idea into an even more amazing novel, but he also created characters that revealed the complexity of human nature and demonstrated the destruction caused by death. Another thing that was amazing about this book were the illustrations. Jim Kay’s drawings were beautiful, accentuated
the eerie feel of the writing, and made the book even more unique. Everything about this book seemed to jump out at the audience and demand to be seen. The only fault that was present in this novel was the fact that it did not go on longer. If there had been one more chapter describing Conor’s life after his mother died, it would have been extremely satisfying.
