I don\\\\\\\'t normally read a book because someone tells me it\\\\\\\'s \\\\\\\"funny.\\\\\\\" But this was a book club selection. I couldn\\\\\\\'t put it down, and yes, it is hilarious. Everyone in our club loved this book. The author has a gift for juxtaposing unlikely circumstances. This book is rich in mind-slamming images.

Bad Monkey is a fun vacation read - funny and optimistic about life.

Many sub-plots make for an interesting read. Some occurrences seem far-fetched, yet everything comes together in the end. Brilliant one-liners, bordering on the hilarious; many chapter endings hold you spellbound for a minute. Enjoyable novel!

Bad Monkey isn't a book I normally would have chosen to read on my own but I found I was very excited to discuss the book with our club. It's action packed and would make a great movie. It's funny that Margaret Atwood is mentioned in the book and she is one of my favorite authors. This book is nothing like a Margaret Atwood book;-)

Book club name /favorite animal
Bad monkey :

2writers (some Easy some not good flow ) Clinton /Paterson ?

Florida fraud : fender benders , urine for diabetes , Medicare more documentation more requirements , emetala violation threaten to loose Medicare reimbursement . Ballet recount . Cocaine cowboys

Conservation and development encroaching on delicate habitats and species
Property rights and new construction versus existing smaller homes.

Does the monkey really move the story along? Would you like the book as much without the monkey?

power of thought becoming a reality = ie Yancy wanted the mega mansion gone and the deer back , no matter what he did no prevail but he got it in the end .
The couple died by the method they set up, their scheme became their reality .
