Book Reviews of Bad Monkeys: A Novel (P.S.)
Book Review: A fantastic, fun, fast read
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to say, this book surprised me. I heard the title on an internet forum thread about "books that would make great videogames". I'm not too sure I agree that this book would have made a great game, but I do think this book was great.
I used to read a lot, especially when I was a kid. Book after book after book, neither topic nor length dissuaded me. Somewhere around 2000, I just stopped reading like I had. To be completely honest, Bad Monkeys is the first novel I've started and been compelled to finish (let alone in just a week or so) in almost 10 years.
This is a gripping narrative, a sci-fi playground in which you constantly find yourself aching to know what's coming next, and what comes next is always interesting and unexpected.
You could easily finish this book in two nights, or one day if you're feeling especially lazy. I'm going to recommend this to everyone I know.
Summary of Bad Monkeys: A Novel (P.S.)
Jane Charlotte has been arrested for murder.
She says she's a member of a secret organization devoted to fighting evil. She says she's working with the Department for the Final Disposition of Irredeemable Persons?aka "Bad Monkeys."
Her confession lands her in the jail's psychiatric wing and earns her countless hours of poking, probing, and questioning by a professional. But is Jane crazy or lying?
Or is she playing a whole different game altogether?
