The ending left me with alot of questions...Feb 05, 2009
By Graphic Novel / Manga Reader
"ownstoomanybooks"
I read Monster volume 1 all the way to now, volume 18. This great series deserves 5 stars as a whole series to read.
I must say that the ending left me a bit unsatisfied, wondering, confused and wanting more! This is why I rated it 4 stars.
I won't spoil the ending here for those who haven't read it. No matter what, you must get the final volume to get a sense of closure, if that.
Readers who have read volume 18, share with me what you think of the ending? The last 3 pages? It left me with alot of questions. I hate that. I went to a blog of someone who read Monster and they felt the same way.
