All I wanted was someone to tell me that they believe me, in me, a pair of arms around me that promise a better tomorrow. 
 Modern Monsters by Kelley York was a truly spectacular read. I found it a roller coaster of emotions and twists that kept it very fast paced and an easy book to read in one sitting. 
 The premise of this book was one that I found very interesting having not read anything like it before. While the idea of the books being heavily centred around a rape may be enough to turn a few people away, it really shouldn't. This book gives amazing insight into what that journey following the rape must feel like not for the victim but for the people surrounding, and was made very interesting by being narrated by the innocent prime suspect. 
 The characters in this book were superbly written with some of the best character development to the protagonist that I have ever read. 
 Victor, the main character is a very shy boy and one that I found myself having an instant connection with and I found the author realistically wrote from the perspective of a boy. The emotions that I felt as I read about all the people blaming him for a crime he didn't commit was both strange and captivating for me, having never thought about that kind of thing before. 
 The book had some more obvious morals in it about rape and judging people that heavily reflect the ideas of our society. However, I think this book had some deeper messages that were better hidden such as children are not there parents and I'm sure many others that I missed but subconsciously worked their way into my head. 
 This book was full of an array of different turns and twist and also a few different plot lines. It contained moments of anger, happiness, sadness, remorse, laughter, romance and friendship, doing so in an articulate way that made the 300 pages seem nowhere near enough and not an unorganised jumble of emotions that many other authors would unfortunately produce.
