Mr. Monk Goes to Hawaii by Lee Goldberg

3.0

These fan-fiction novels feel somewhat different than the TV show. The main thing is that they are told exclusively from Natalie Teeger's perspective - she's the only narrator. You are not in Monk's head at all and if he happens to be alone or not in Natalie's presence, i.e. if he is in session with Dr. Kroeger - which I loved in the show - then you miss out. I mean, it's great because I love all the characters, but I almost wish the author would use 3rd person perspective or switch perspectives so you could see the world through Monk's eyes or other person's eyes besides Natalie's.
