A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Picked this one up with a whole mess of other books recommended by the Book Smugglers (who were, in turn, recommended by Lauren). I'm not sure if I just wasn't in the right emotional place at the right moment, or if I'm a heartless monster, but the end of the book didn't have me in tears as it does some people. But it's a fabulously well done book, start to finish. Ness's craftsmanship is excellent; the stories and stories-within-stories are woven together so perfectly, and everything *works*.
