Hello and welcome to my blog of wonders. Here you can find book reviews of books of all origins and genres. I will always be honest when it comes to reviewing any book. I try and keep my blog up to date and filled with truthful and fun reviews. So, let's get started, shall we?
This was sent to me by the author himself, so thank you very much for sending this my way. Regardless if it was sent for review, I have always been truthful on whether I liked it, loved it, disliked it, or hated it. The main reason I stay truthful is for myself. What blog would I be if I lied about every book I read and reviewed? I don’t mean to hurt anyone’s feelings but this is my opinion and I am entitled to my own opinion. For the books, I have not enjoyed I would still recommend reading only because it may be a totally different experience for you. So, with that let's get into the review.
This isn’t my normal kind of read and I don’t know why I picked this book. And when I say this isn’t my normal kind of read I mean I don’t typically read books dealing with the supernatural (zombies, vampires, werewolves, etc.). I planned on keeping an open mind and that’s what I did.
“Welcome to Monsterland, the scariest place on earth.
When world markets are decimated by a crippling plague, philanthropist, and billionaire businessman, Vincent Konrad decides to place monsters in a theme park setting to promote education and tolerance. Copper Valley is chosen as the primary site for the park in the United States.
Wyatt Baldwin, a high school senior is dying to go to the opening and when he lands special passes to the park, he and his friends are expecting the experience of a lifetime.
After all, in a theme park where real zombies, werewolves, and vampires are the main attractions, what could possibly go wrong? “

I gave this book a 3 out of 5-star rating only because I personally didn’t feel connected with the characters or plot. I did enjoy reading and going along for the “ride”. I think this book aimed for the younger readers and not for my age range. If I were to be a couple years younger than I would have given this a 4-5 stars.
The only thing really negative I have to say about MonsterLand is in some parts of the book I felt that it was forced and you can tell someone older was writing for some of the characters.
I enjoyed this read and I would recommend this book to anyone of the younger age and/or anyone that enjoys reading YA horror. I want to thank the author again for taking his time and sending me his book.
