Stacy in NJ Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Just wanted to offer a recommendation for an enjoyable read. The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey is a scary, gross, suspensful novel directed an the youth market but appealing to a wider audience. It's a bit Frankenstein and a bit Harry Potter, well written, with engaging and unique characters. Recommended for not a sensitive 13+ yo and adults who like this kind of thing. :001_smile: http://www.amazon.com/Monstrumologist-Rick-Yancey/dp/1416984496/ref=pd_cp_b_0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraGB Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 So, how gross is it? I read the synopsis, and I'm trying to determine if it is Frankenstein gross or Friday the 13th gross. I can handle the former, but the latter...not so much. It does sound intriguing, though. :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not usually a big fan of the gory stuff, but I liked the characters so much, and it was also quite wonderfully suspensful, that the gory wasn't too much. A few scenes of bloody mayhem turn the stomach, but the scariest parts related to the suspense of the story, at least for me.:001_smile: Check out the amazon reviews. They're pretty accurate. The next book in the series is due out in October, and I intend on reading it right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
