La crítica ha dicho...
«Excepcional... He aquí cómo debería ser siempre la narrativa: desgarradora, lírica y trascendente.»
Meg Rosoff
«Valiente y hermoso, lleno de compasión, Un monstruo viene a verme funde lo doloroso y lo intuitivo, lo simple y lo profundo. El resultado tiembla de vida.»
The Independent
«Las ilustraciones de Kay, amenazadoras y llenas de energía, y la manera en que interactúan con el texto, junto a la generosidad de los materiales con que está hecho el libro, hacen que sea una verdadera alegría tan solo sostenerlo en la mano.»
The Guardian
«Imprescindible... Apasionante, conmovedor, brillante.»
The Times
«Excepcional... Destaca por su compasión.»
Daily Mail
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An unflinching, darkly funny, and deeply moving story of a boy, his seriously ill mother, and an unexpected monstrous visitor. At seven minutes past midnight, thirteen-year-old Conor wakes to find a monster outside his bedroom window. But it isn't the monster Conor's been expecting-- he's been expecting the one from his nightmare, the nightmare he's had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments. The monster in his backyard is different. It's ancient. And wild. And it wants something from Conor. Something terrible and dangerous. It wants the truth. From the final idea of award-winning author Siobhan Dowd-- whose premature death from cancer prevented her from writing it herself-- Patrick Ness has spun a haunting and darkly funny novel of mischief, loss, and monsters both real and imagined.
Ness enseña escritura creativa en la Universidad de Oxford y ha escrito y revisado para The Daily Telegraph, The Literary Supplement Times, The Sunday Telegraph y The Guardian.
Entre sus obras más importantes destacan la trilogía «Chaos Walking» con The Knife if Never Letting Go, The Ask and the Answer y Monsters of Men y su aclamado libro Un monstruo viene a verme.
