Book Review of Bad Monkey (Audio CD) (Unabridged)

Bad Monkey (Audio CD) (Unabridged)
Catspaw avatar reviewed on


I just finished listening to this on audio. Hiaasen delivers his usual fun and engaging plotline and characters. Excellent book!

I was disappointed in the narrator though. As anyone who's read Hiaasen knows, there are a lot of conversational twists and turns among the characters. I had some difficulty following those conversations, since there wasn't much, or sometimes any, difference in the way the characters were voiced. I often couldn't even tell if the character "speaking" was supposed to be male or female.

While Johnson is undoubtedly very good at a number of things, I don't think he exhibited the vocal range needed to represent all of the characters in this book.
