5By TheOTStudentFor anyone who has ever dealt with a loss of a loved on this movie will see you through..Wonderful!!!!
5By designKI've heard about this movie for some time but had missed it in the theatre...just finished watching it. Quite a beautiful film about learning to live with loss...to go let go...to go on when you think it is all over. Great performances...visually amazing, truly stunning! I'm surprised it didn't get noticed more by the public. WATCH IT NOW! I dare you not to cry.A Monster Calls
5By Mikedarling414141I got this book after I read the review of the movie. I hesitated as my sister passed from cancer and I am a survivor. What a beautiful story that made literally cry off and on all day. In a cathartic way....very thought provoking and could be applicable for anyone going through a life changing experience. Made me want to talk about it with others but I had to be satisfied with going online and reading what others thought which was all amazing for the most part. Take the cue in the beginning and read it so you can view the illustrations. I can't wait to see the movie but glad to have read the book first!!Good emotional read
4By BlanefsrThis book is a great read for some one dealing with emotional restraints. You could even say therapeutic.Amazing
5By GraceFrumI'm 15 and I don't like reading books at all. I read this book and I LOVED it! It's emotional book and I usually don't cry at movies or books but this one did it for me. I love this book and can't wait to read more like it!
