An unflinching, darkly funny, and deeply moving story of a boy, his seriously ill mother, and an unexpected monstrous visitor.
At seven minutes past midnight, thirteen-year-old Conor wakes to find a monster outside his bedroom window. But it isn't the monster Conor's been expecting-- he's been expecting the one from his nightmare, the nightmare he's had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments. The monster in his backyard is different. It's ancient. And wild. And it wants something from Conor. Something terrible and dangerous. It wants the truth. 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.

評分 評分前不久在電影院看《當惡魔來敲門》時,哭到用“以淚洗麵”來形容一點不為過,因為當時的我真的有在擔心,臉上的防曬霜都被洗掉瞭,等一下齣門怎麼辦…… 沒有看懂惡魔的第2個和第3個故事,於是買瞭這本書來看。 書頁麵邊距和行距都非常大,還有大幅插畫,所以不費力就可以讀完...
評分這是我第一本完整看完的英文書,很好看 震撼 整體文風是類似童話那種 所以不難 而且還有插畫 像繪本一樣。 這個monster指的也不是那種很可怕的怪獸,不是恐怖故事,整本書是偏現實的,體現瞭這個社會。 反正真的讀完整個人都領悟瞭很多! 插畫超贊 紙質超棒 字體也很喜歡 ...

this is book is underrated here. First I thought it was just a child book for Halloween, but I was wrong. This book is so beautifully written, and it tries to help healing people who has to face the death of their beloved ones. I absolutely love it and recommend to everyone who is over 18.
評分心靈雞湯
評分的確都是應該讓孩子從小知道,成年看不知怎麼都已經晚瞭的道理。
評分聽的有聲書,Jason Isaacs讀的。
評分開始隻是被封麵吸引,然後是裏麵的插畫,現在是這個似乎能猜到結局的故事吸引瞭我。 結局的留白還是挺讓人迴味的
