Customer Reviews

Finally..A GREAT BOOK!!!

I have finally found a great book. I am not one to write reviews, but anything this good deserves some of my time. Jay Nussbaum has sculpted the perfect blend of humor and philosophy which actually can change my perspective on any given, overworked day. This book is one of those rare books which I can actually relate too on numerous levels. The characters are SO REAL, that when the novel was done, I felt like I was saying goodbye to a friend that I just wanted to know more and more about! I can't believe that other "great authors with their great literary works" get airtime, when their novels can't even shine the shoes of "The Monk". I am getting copies of this for several of my friends for Christmas.

Great book!

I love a Monk Jumped Over A Wall! It's very easy to read, laugh out loud funny and captured my attention from the first page. The main character J.J. Spencer feels like an old friend.

Best read of the year!

A second home run for Mr. Nussbaum. After reading "Blue Road to Atlantis", I couldn't wait for another Nussbaum creation. Though it seemed like forever, "A Monk Jumped Over a Wall" was definitely worth the wait. It is brilliant, funny, and heartwarming. Filled with great life lessons, there is something in there everybody can relate to. This is by far the best book I have read in a long time. A must read. I hope I don't have to wait too long for Mr. Nussbaum's next Novel.

Fantastic follow-up to Blue Road To Atlantis

Nussbaum's follow-up to Blue Road To Atlantis is an all-out success. While Monk is not a sequel to Blue Road, there are extensions to themes Nussbaum explored in his debut novel, which makes for a wonderful pairing. Once again, he has a way of seamlessly weaving humor and philosophy to create a narrative that is immediately satisfying and fulfilling. Looking forward to more!

Two great stories in one!

I really loved this book, and thought it was a very fast read! I especially enjoyed the law school years, but the present day story was so well intertwined the past that I felt like I got two great stories for the price of one. I really hope there is a sequal because I need to know more about these great characters.
