Bad Monkeys by Matt Ruff


See the book cover for this one? It gets brownie points before you even start to read it! It's skinny and cute, but that face on the cover! Freaky! And whoa, this is one psychological thriller. It was awesome!

Jane Charlotte is being interviewed in a psych ward. Kinda. She killed a bunch of people. But she wasn't acting alone. She was a member of the Bad Monkeys, a secret organization that "takes out" bad people before they get worse. You know that serial killer that disappeared and the police never found? The Bad Monkeys killed him. You know that child rapist who never raped again? The Bad Monkey killed him.

So Jane's interview is the entire book. But, boy, do you get sucked into her story. I read this one in about two hours on a school night and stayed up until 12:30 am. I couldn't go to sleep without finishing it! Do you want to hear me rave some more about this one? I could!
