There's a monster at Conor's window. It's not the one from his nightmare. But it wants the most dangerous thing of all from Conor.
It wants the truth.
I really enjoyed this book and I'm so glad I finally got round to reading it. Even if I was 5 years late. It is a heart-breaking and life-changing book that makes you think whilst enjoying the story that is in front of you. I flew through the chapters and couldn't believe that it wasn't longer.
Patrick Ness has an exciting yet bizarre writing style that you can't help but love. He pulls you into the book within a few chapters and leaves you wishing for more. As soon as I put the book down I wanted to read more about Conor and his family. The writing style was also so eerie that it makes you feel like you are in the middle of a horror film. Don't read this book at night!
I loved that we get to read stories inside the book because it adds another level to the characters' development. When the monster tells Conor another story we see him react to this new information, which helped speed up character development. It was also nice to react to the story, and then see how Conor's reaction relates to yours.
The only reason why I didn't give this book 5/5 stars is because I had the ending spoilt to me whilst I was reading the book. It didn't stop me getting wrapped up in the book, but it definitely took away from my reaction in to the ending!
Despite knowing what was going to happen, I really liked this book and am so glad I finally got round to reading it. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who hasn't red it yet because it is such a beautiful book and very enjoyable!
