HOW I GOT THIS BOOK:
The author sent us a copy for review. We thank him for it!
SUMMARY:
Monkey Talk is loosely based on the
Chinese myth, the Monkey King, a timeless story about who belongs, and who
doesn’t. In a future in which Chimps can give lectures on cybernetics, Mr.
Towry is a Chimp with an attitude. Unfortunately, the rules are still “No
shirt, no shoes, no service.”
REVIEW:
Monkey Talk - What happens when a
scientifically advanced monkey can talk? Can the monkey give guest lecturers?
What happens when the monkey has near human emotions and feels irritation,
sadness, and happiness and… love? What does happen when the monkey has a rare
disease that makes it rage and destruct its surroundings? And the biggest
question… How can the answer for all this lie in a 17 page short story? Read
more to find out. The Monkey Talk is astonishingly unique, has simple language
and can manage to both confuse you as well as leave a sweet after taste. And to
be still more mysterious, the story gives an additional twist in between and
right at the end!
VERDICT: Short,
sensible, and honestly, how many good short stories can you see these days?
RATING: 4/5
