1 hour 21 minutes - This book is extremely emotional, and almost made me cry at least once. It is a wonderfully well written metaphor for coping with loss and grief, even before it happens. The stories the monster tells are thought-provoking, and the final scenes are absolutely heart-wrenching. An amazing read.
