Publisher's Summary
Costa Award winner and Guardian Prize winning author Patrick Ness delivers an extraordinarily moving novel about coming to terms with loss.
The monster showed up after midnight. As they do. But it isn't the monster Conor's been expecting. He's been expecting the one from his nightmare, the one he's had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments, the one with the darkness and the wind and the screaming.... This monster is something different, though. Something ancient, something wild. And it wants the most dangerous thing of all from Conor.
It wants the truth.
Critic Reviews
"Exceptional.... This is storytelling as it should be - harrowing, lyrical and transcendent." ( The Guardian)

Not bad
A good novel for the young adult who I suspect this was written for. The performance was good and the story was both emotional and entertaining.

Wow.
Well, that story was gut wrenching. Very interesting way of telling a tale of grief and fear, but such a short book easily has a lot of impact. Also, Jason Isaacs does an incredible job of narrating this book.

my heart feels both broken & soothed.
I would recommend this to everyone as a grief & loss story that helps show how the pain feels in a very innocent and honest way.
