Review of 'A Monster Calls' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
First, good timing (or bad timing I don't know exactly). This book came in a moment of my life that I'm experiencing almost the same that Connor, the protagonist. I thought that would make me more sensible about the story but actually it didn't.
It doesn't mean that I didn't like it, I liked. It's a very good book, with a very good writing what it's expect from Patrick Ness but in the end I felt like something was missing. There weren't no tears, no lump in the throat...

I'm REALLY curious to see how this book will be transported to the big screen.
So, good book but wasn't as good as I was expecting and was said by everybody.
