Add a CommentBrilliant. Thought it started out slow, but really glad I kept reading because it gets more and more interesting as the book goes on. I was getting serious shivers down my spine toward the end. Writing style was creative and engaging- I especially liked how memories and events unfolded.
Fabulous book! With a captivating combination of humour and seriousness, along with a bit of the supernatural, I had a tough time putting this book down. Monkey Beach is a great book to read closely as there are quite a few details that could be missed--it's definitely more than a typical coming-of-age story.
This was a great book - especially for anyone from Vancouver Island and can relate to these memories!
I liked this book, serious subjects but a good story with a balance of the modern and traditions of this community.
