Monster by A. Lee Martinez

It’s tempting to write Monster off as a shallow book; it’s got that dry sense of situational humor that marks Tom Holt or Christopher Moore, where the characters and their foibles are played straight, and the comedy comes from the problems they must deal with.  Of course, when yeti in the supermarket and trolls in the bedroom and walrus dogs in a diner’s kitchen are involved, things are anything but dull.  And once you look closer, it’s easy to see that Monster has depths… or layers, like an onion.  It’s a fun read, quirky and strange and the perfect addition to Martinez’s already varied repertoire.  While it would be nice to see what’s next for Monster and Judy, I’ll happily take whatever Martinez decides to throw at us.  But if you want comic fantasy, this is definitely a good bet.
