Find Best Price at Amazon"I did a ton of research and decided upon this version (ISBN 116-1749849-2513827), illustrated by Alan Lee and published by Harper Collins in June 2014 (I am adding these details because the Amazon.com site does not make it clear what this version is). The only drawback is that the facsimile pages of the Book of Mazarbul was not included, which I found to be surprising and a bit disappointing Also, the ring inscription and the Gandalf "rune" are printed in black rather than silver and red. Probably the main issue is the clear plastic slipcover, which is barely bigger than the book itself, and it is difficult to slip the book back inside it after taking it out."
"The font size seems to be based on the length of the books, the longer the books are, the smaller the font is (I suppose this was in order to keep them pocket-sized as well as consistent with the sizes of the other books throughout the set)."
"I'll keep it brief, this is not a review of the actual story but of this specific edition."
"Gilt edges, silk marker, and pages of Mazarbul are nice, but the fold-out maps are a bit tricky to use without tearing. I foolishly put a little piece of tape to stop the tearing, but took it off and am just careful with it."
"There are several sellers listed as having this book, but they will ship you the mass market paperback instead."
Best Teen & Young Adult Monster Fiction
From the final idea of award-winning author Siobhan Dowd — whose premature death from cancer prevented her from writing it herself — Patrick Ness has spun a haunting and darkly funny novel of mischief, loss, and monsters both real and imagined.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"You know how you come across a book, and after reading it, you feel like EVERYONE needs to read it as well?"
"There are some books that are so special to the reader that they are a bit difficult to review. First of all, don't be fooled by the reviews that say this book speaks about a woman dying of cancer and her relationship with her son. Yes, it does, but it has much more to it than this, and claiming it is so, diminishes a book full of lessons, morals and ethics. The sensitiveness, delicacy and openness of spirit of both Patrick Ness and Siohban Dowd, who died of cancer before she could finish the story, make this reading a revealing experience for those who are ready to look beyond the story line. "A Monster Calls" didn't really surprise me with twists and turns, or with an unexpected end. But the unexpectedness and the beauty of this book lies on its way of deconstructing the truth by making we see it, by peeling away slowly the masks of our needed lies and fantasies. I... hmmm... have a fertile imagination and often prefer the written world than the illustrated one."
"Just read it!"
"This story transcends reading levels by connecting to the reader on a deeply emotional level."
"Ness carefully (beautifully) relates the nuances and pain of anticipatory grief through the trials of the young protagonist, Conor, who is dealing and not dealing with the illness of his mother."
"A Monster Calls is, on the surface, the poignant story of a boy, his mum, and her battle with the monster that is cancer."
"I went in knowing that the reviews were great and that it would be sad, but beautiful at the same time. So if you decide to read this, a few words of advice: you will most likely read it in one go, so give yourself a couple hours to read it."
Best Teen & Young Adult Ghost Stories
A #1 New York Times Bestseller! "Maniscalco has created a serious, sharp-minded, and forward-thinking protagonist in Audrey Rose, whose fearlessness will endear her to readers looking for an engaging historical thriller. "Audrey Rose Wadsworth prefers breeches to ball gowns, autopsies to afternoon tea, and scalpels to knitting needles. Though her father, Lord Edmund, has forbidden it, Audrey covertly studies forensic medicine...while "the Ripper" remains two steps ahead, lurking where Audrey least expects....Maniscalco's portrayal of scientific invention in a newly industrial era will serve as a fine first foray into Victorian classics. "With ample knowledge of Ripper lore, Maniscalco creates a steadfast and headstrong heroine who is as comfortable in gloves of blood as she is in watered silk. Filled with plenty of gory details, and no shortage of possible suspects, Stalking Jack the Ripper conveys the panic, paranoia, and fascination of 1880s London with a madman on the loose.
