Why read it?
1 author picked Little Monsters as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book reminded me of Jonathan Franzen’s The Corrections, a complicated family drama much like we see in “Little Monsters.” I love characters with false narratives, ones whose external voices don’t match their inner voices at all.
They lie to themselves, they lie to us. This is the kind of book that makes you relieved not to live in it yet perversely guilty for sharing in it. The Gardners are a dysfunctional family, and I found myself staying up late every night to discover all the secrets that created their complex dynamics.
