Review: Paul Bunyan-like hero, revenge and laughs
Rating: 5 out of 5

"Monster" is not a deep book, or even much of a thriller.  It goes from event to event with a fast pace and has a lot of humor, bonding, and revenge.  There isn't much suspense or mystery, just the unfolding of the story.  I gave it 5 stars because it provided a nice, shallow, entertaining and relaxing read without wondering if the favorites were going to be destroyed.  Plus this book is long compared to the author's other books I've read, so I feel I got my money's worth.I don't care much about grammar slip-ups unless they stop the flow of a book.  A couple of these slips did, however.  Having a rough-tough hero say "I've went" doesn't cause much disruption, but having the Assistant Director say it really does.  I have noticed this particular mistake in the author's writing and it's getting old.  "Casting dispersions" doesn't cause much pause when a non-native English speaker says it, until I realized the gag wasn't followed up.  Then, later the hero says it without follow-up so maybe it is some family joke that went wrong.
