Mr. Monk

review 1: This is another fine romp in the Mr. Monk universe offered by Lee Goldberg. In fact, this one is one of, if not, the best of the series that I have read, and I have read quite a few of them. This time, Monk decides to do something pleasant for his brother, Ambrose. Ambrose is an agoraphobic and Monk (with a little help from his assistant, Natalie) drugs his brother and moves him to an RV for a vacation of a lifetime. Of course, this leads to some really powerful and at times, dark humor. Poor Ambrose, at first, is angry and frustrated at being tricked in this manner-- Natalie takes them off on a tour that leads down the California Coastline, over to the Grand Canyon and back through Yosemite National park. Along the way, things are complicated by the eccentric behavior... more of both Monk and his brother, as well as the murders that they somehow stumble onto. Would it be a Monk story without at least one murder.. but throughout this episodic novel we get to experience life in an RV with the Monks... And Goldberg ties all of these episodes together.. The best parts of these novels is the dialogue. Goldberg captures the style of the television program so well that the reader can almost hear Tony Shaloub as Monk reciting his lines in his own manner. Goldberg chooses the right voice-- the book is written from Natalie's point of view, and she struggles with her own phobias in a really cool comical twist. While trying to help the Monks cope with their own phobias, she has to learn to cope with her own. Of course, Goldberg has to take a moment of sentimental pleasure in a conversation between Natalie and Monk about who saved who-- and this gets kind of sickly sweet, but it is done in a fun manner. Monkites (if that is the name you call a Monk fan) will rejoice. This is another quality outing by Lee Goldberg, who probably resents the fact that I pass my copies on to family members instead of directing them to the bookstore... (LOL) ...
review 2: This is the first book after the series finale. Monk was noticeably more relaxed and fun in here. This condition however, would not stay long because I had read the following books after this one and he seemed much much worse that pre-finale.Getting on with the story, I really liked it! Monk decided to surprise Ambrose for his birthday by taking him out of his house against his will for a road trip. He enlisted the help of Julie, Molly and Natalie (who end up tagging along with the two brothers).The adventure those three had was funny, witty and quirky. Although, knowing Monk, he immediately stumbled upon a series of seemingly unconnected murders. The mystery were tied up neatly in the end although it was creepy and made me think twice about planning a road trip. less
