The Boy Who Drew Monsters

In this book's defense, I shouldn't have taken a (very long) break from reading it to re-read The Hunger Games series; that was definitely a disservice to the story. That being said, I ended up reading the bulk of it in one sitting, and found myself appreciating the atmosphere and creepy imagery. My main issue was a disconnect from the plot and characters, as neither really worked for me. Again, that could 100% be my fault for taking such a long reading vacation to instead fill my eyeballs with teens fighting to the death and starting a revolution and doing big kisses, but overall I would give this read 3 shipwrecks out of 5.
