The CILIP Carnegie Medal 2011The shortlist for the 2011 Carnegie was incredibly strong, and each was a potential winner. However, the judges chose Monsters of Men by Patrick Ness because it really is outstanding. It is an extraordinary achievement. Not only does the author succeed in creating a richly imagined world that completely convinces the reader while challenging the imagination, he also poses profound questions about relationships, war, the horrors and heroism that can result and the nature of government. In the characters of Todd and Viola the reader meets real people facing real dilemmas. Above all Monsters of Men is an enthralling read that is well nigh impossible to put down and while a fitting conclusion to a remarkable trilogy, it is novel that both stands alone and stands out.
