Review #1
* * * * * Stars (Amazing!)
This is a really compelling and complex book. It is now in fact one of my favorite books. It really gives you a lot to think about, and the monster’s stories can be a bit hard to understand, so you really have to think about the hidden meanings. I strongly suggest to people looking for a read that gets you thinking and questioning the world around you. You should read this book.

Yes, I was able to predict the end, however, you grow attached to Conor. His story is painful, and his truth would never be expected.
