What Big Teeth was recommended to me by Sarah at Girl on Books (go read her review too!). She told me to read this book so many times before I finally gave in and got it. And even then, it sat on my bookshelf for a long time before I actually got to it. I’m so glad that I let it keep staring at me, because it was really good. It’s so atmospheric, and it feels like the house is alive, which is one of my favorite things! It was written so well and I loved it a lot!

Quick Summary: What Big Teeth follows Eleanor on her way back to her home after she had been sent away to school for years. Once she finally gets home, she hardly recognizes her family. Though they have always been monsters, she used to fit in with them, even though she knew she was something different. Now, after being away for so long, her family is no longer comforting like they once were, but terrifying. Eleanor must figure out how to live with and deal with her horrifying family now that she has been left as head of household.

My absolute favorite thing about this book was how unique the monsters were. I loved that the family were werewolves, but with added creativity. That Eleanor’s mother was some kind of partial sea creature, but we never really know what. That we are not sure what Eleanor is herself. Every monster was so interesting, and we never got a full understanding. We got just enough information on the monsters that we were left curious the whole time, but they still remained mysterious. The amount of detail we were given for the creatures was absolutely perfect to maintain the mysterious and spooky mood of the book. Continue Reading...
