flying_monkeys
Explanations
flying_monkeys: Another "classic" that delivered the goods. Not at all what I expected, though. An excellent exploration into when "we" becomes the monster, and "they" becomes the human or normal.

Explanations
flying_monkeys: Another 2013 read that wasn't at all what I expected. Packed way more emotional punch than one might assume for "horror."

Explanations
flying_monkeys: Yeah, the time travel and alternate lives were cool. But what I really loved about this book was its subtle messages about tolerance and finding peace with who we are.
