Book Review of The Monsters We Make

The Monsters We Make
reviewed on + 3102 more book reviews


This book was inspired by the paperboy abductions in the mid 80s in Iowa which I didn't know about

I'm not really sure what age this was written for but the topic might be disturbing for younger than 12, the story is about 12-13 yr old boys

There are no graphic descriptions but there is a good moral lesson on 'stranger danger'

I was not impressed with the writing, it is very slow and plods along with too much 'thoughts' and 'thinking'
it doesn't take much to figure it out

I can't give it more than the 2* rating as it is not suspenseful or a thriller and not much of a mystery
