Beast

Reviewed by Jess Chalmers


Beast is one of the dullest books I have read in the past year. Perhaps I just ‘didn’t get it’ but I found the plot very dull and there wasn’t really that much to the story line. It was all right in some places, like when he chops up the pig – however, even that could be more interesting and exciting.

I think the only people who would think it was amazing would be people who are keeping crocodiles as a pet and who have been shunted around foster homes their whole life. At times I had to force myself to sit down and read it, which I found to be a real chore.

I am sorry I couldn’t be more enthusiastic about it but I’m just being honest. Overall I would give it 3/10.
