I’m so glad I read this! I loved the film and the book was equally funny, insightful and quirky. I’ve read few books with such fascinating, multifaceted characters and I guess this speaks to Percival Everett’s amazing writing talent. Monk felt so intensely real, as did his surrounding family and acquaintances. The insights into the publishing world from both the film and the book felt so juicy as well. The only issue I had with the book was that I felt it could have easily been a hundred pages longer. I wanted more detail about everything!!!
