I thought G-MONKEYS was brilliant, one of the most enjoyable
books I've read in the last five years. Anything that opens
with a headless corpse rolling around in a car and progresses
to exploding jelly donuts has a lot going for it.
I will say that the scene where Charlie beats up the guy in
the shower was a little too much for me, only because I was
sympathetic to Charlie and it seemed like he was torturing
the bad guy. (come to think of it . . . he WAS torturing the
bad guy)

the next Gischler story is called)
