![]() ![]() Angela has just moved to town to live with her promiscuous grandfather while her parents are slugging it out in divorce courts. 'Monster' is set in the small town of Point. ![]() It's part of the package and I appreciate the effort and quirks. Sometimes those risks don't pay off or age well. ![]() For me, Pike's characters were way more mature and, in some ways, more realistic than their peers in other YA horror of the '80s and '90s and Pike often took risks with characterization. There's some questionable representation of Native Americans as well, but the author's intent was respectful. 'Monster' is a pretty wild ride, but be careful if you have any sensitivities to gun violence, sexual assault, war crimes, or cannibalism. Christopher Pike is in a whole other bizarro universe where the girls are all into STEM and the answer always has something to do with ancient prehistoric advanced civilizations. ![]()
