Mr. Monk Goes to Hawaii by Lee Goldberg (2006, Paperback)

So many of the books taken from TV shows (like that Murder, She Wrote series) - the characters don't ring true. This edition - the characters are really well written, in fact you get a lot more of Natalie than you ever knew before, like how her husband died -- how she felt...the neurosis of Adrian is funny, and remarkably well-translated to the page. The plot is just like the show - he wraps it up quickly and you do flip back to catch the clues you missed on the first read through - the clue to a great mystery is if you actually read passed the clues without catching on --!!

Worth the read, will take you a weekend if that!

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much. I mean, really, a book based on the characters in a television series? But I was stuck in the airport and in a bad mood and thought I'd give it a shot. And you know what? It was great! Funny and poignant and I loved it. Now I'm looking for more from the Mr. Monk series. I hope Lee Goldberg writes realllllly fast.

If you love the MONK TV show, you will love the Mr. Monk goes to Hawaii. The story is told in Natalie's point of view, so it really lets the reader get to know a lot more about Natalie. The premise of the story is that Natalie and Mr. Monk go to Hawaii-I know, you are wondering HOW Monk got on the plane, you will have to read the book to find out-and Monk comes across a murder in his hotel. Also staying at the hotel is a mind reader. Monk has to try and expose him for the fake that he is-or is he a fake at all??
This book is filled with Monk's phobia's, weird behavior's and mystery. You will not want to put this book down!

A fun, easy, enjoyable read. Laugh out loud funny. I can't wait for the next Monk book by this author.

This book takes you along for a fun, quirky ride with OCD ex-police detective Adrian Monk and his ever present life assistant , Natalie. Read this book and you are on your way to a very realistic, fun, yet odd vacation to the gorgeous island of Kuai through Natalie's perspective.

Natalie packed her patience and Mr. Monk brought along all of his idiosyncracies.

If you enjoy the T.V. show, MONK, as much as I do , then you will feel like you are right in the show while you are reading this.

Murder, mayhem, a Hawaiian vacation and tons of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. What could be more fun??

Give your brain a break from the real world and enjoy this fun read!
