After all the hype around Ness's Chaos Walking trilogy and his novel A Monster Calls, there are very high expectations for his latest book. In Monsters of Men, the author moved away from straight storytelling to something much more philosophical. This new novel continues that trend. It is also a tense, absorbing drama that opens with the death of the main protagonist. Not for everyone, perhaps, but worth it.
