Book #20: Monstrumologist

Whenever a book is given a Printz award, I sincerely try to give it a read and don't think I have ever been disappointed. Let me warn you that this book is not for the faint of heart. There are some pretty grotesque and disturbing images and I can see this book being challenged in many libraries. However, if you can get past the gory stuff, I think you'll find an enjoyable tale with characters that you'll both love and hate. I loved the richness of the language and the way the author turns this almost ridiculous storyline into something believable.
