Interesting and different. I read this book in one sitting - about an hour, I think. It took a few chapters for me to get into it but, once I did, it was easy to appreciate how well the monster functions as a literary device. I liked the unpredictability of the monster's stories and appreciated how they related to Conor's situation. I could see this book being a very useful tool for helping children and teens deal with difficult situations. The reading level itself isn't particularly high - so it ought to be accessible to most - but the subject matter is intense.
