Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What part of the United States is "Monster" set in?

Answer: Idaho

Frank Peretti follows the seasoned advice of writing about what you know, and living in the Pacific Northwest helps him write about the rugged outdoors of the Idaho/Washington area.

2. The two main characters of the novel are Reed Shelton and his wife. What is his wife's first name?

Answer: Beck

Beck is the shortened form of her full name, Rebecca. Because of her severe stuttering she sometimes has difficulty saying her "r's" very well, causing her to reduce her name so she can say it without stumbling over it.

3. Why does Reed take his city-loving, comfort-adoring wife up to the mountains?

Answer: She needs to build her confidence

Reed, a tough deputy sheriff, wants to expand his wife's horizons, so to speak, and thinks a camping trip would "toughen" her up. Little did they know Beck would prove to be tougher then anyone thought her to be.

4. At the beginning of the book a hunter comes across a man mauled, or murdered. What does the hunter do with the body?

Answer: buries it under the log pile

The first action of the book seems odd in that a hunter goes out of his way to make the victim look as if he was killed by a pile of logs falling on him. This whole sequence makes sense after reading the book.

5. Dr Michael Capella and his wife Sing are friends with Reed and his wife, and were joining them later in the mountains. What other person was going to join the two couples?

Answer: Randy Thompson

Randy never met up with his friends as he met a very untimely death and his cabin became demolished by the monster.

6. What is one characteristic Reed and his wife especially notice about the monster as it chases them on the mountain?

Answer: a very noticable stench

Reed and Beck are being chased by two monsters, yet they don't realize it at the time. What they do notice is the incredible smell that indicates one of the monsters is close by. They noticed whistles, and a scream like a terrified woman as well.

7. What name does Reed's wife give the monster that has kidnapped her?

Answer: Rachel

Beck names the creature Rachel from the Bible story of Rachel and Leah, on account it appears Rachel has no child and the other creature does. Beck begins to have compassion and less fear of the creature once she begins to understand some of its actions.

8. Reed finds what he believes is a message from his wife scrawled in the dirt. What is the message?

Answer: his phone number

The creatures that have captured Beck are drawn to an area where there is fresh store bought fruit, and it is here that Beck scrawls part of Reed's phone number in the sand, alerting him that she is alive after all.

9. The monster is captured at the end of the book and sent to a protective environment.

Answer: False

The real monster is destroyed as it lunges at Beck, although the one who destroys the monster could be considered a villain as well. And too much more explanation will spoil the plot!

10. How many years has it been between Peretti's last book "The Wounded Spirit" (also known as "No More Bullies") and "Monster"?

Answer: six

Frank Peretti receives praise and high reviews of his spiritually based thriller novels, so it becomes difficult for his fans to wait so long in between novels. It's hoped the next one out won't be so long in coming.
