Review of 'Bad Monkeys' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Well, oddball superhero/covert op is a bit of a nontypical pastiche, but it works really well here. The back and forth interview-style technique is as well done here as anywhere else I've come across it, and the divide between normal Humanity and the theatre of operations here, whilst strong, is somehow not a stumbling block to a gritty, engaging and strangely compelling tale.
