Nam Nari's Reviews > A Monster Calls

When I have to write a book report, I always said, ‘It was really interesting. I want to read this book one more time!’ without mind. But this book is different. It made me considerate.
I read the book, A Monster Calls. The book’s main character is Conor, and his mom was sick. Any medicines couldn’t treat her, so she always stayed in hospital. Then one day, Conor who had a nightmare every night met a monster. The monster consisted of yew tree, and its fruit. The monster told three stories to Conor. One is about kingdom, another is about apothecary and parson, the other is about invisible man. While I read these parts, I couldn’t understand monster’s purpose. But when I read last part, I could understand fully, and was impressed. The monster’s stories is related in PARADOX. In other words, it means that we have two thinking or mind about some situation. In monster’s stories, finally, all characters and monster had to decide a solution to solve the problem in situation. So I think the monster was trying to say being honest is the greatest solution. And what does 12:07 mean? Its meaning was so shocking that I couldn’t be surprised. It means the time of his mom’s death.
When my homeroom teacher introduced this book, she said it had made her crying, and I agree with her. Thanks to this book, I can think more about my real mind, and death.
