Well written, but not my kind of book. It resonated with me emotionally, but not in a way that I like; more in a way that gave me nightmares, or reminded me of childhood nightmares. The monsters were horrifying in a fun way, but his father's actions were disturbing in a painful way, (view spoiler)[especially with Ursula's insinuation, "I did't make anyone do anything."
