Finn, your Starvard guide

Ciao, mi chiamo Finn e ti aiuterò a capire questo libro.

Eccolo, spiegato come se avessi 10 anni:

Un pover'uomo senza un posto dove dormire entra in una casa vuota e trova un mostro nel letto: un gigantesco insetto capace di cambiare forma e di controllare la sua mente. La creatura è venuta dall'Egitto a Londra per punire un uomo che le fece un torto molto tempo prima, e farà del male a chiunque si metta sulla sua strada. Quattro persone diverse raccontano la storia, una dopo l'altra, e ciascuna avvicina sempre di più la creatura.
