Customer Reviews

My son LOVED this book!!

My son received this book and Tiger (5 Ancestors) for Christmas. Both he and I read them and loved them! My son is so hard to please when it comes to reading books. And besides the Harry Potter books he doesn't find a whole lot of other books he really likes. He liked these so much that we are anxiously awaiting the release of Snake (5 Ancestors), to be released in March.

Five Ancestors Monkey

Monkey is a book for the wittiest minds. This book is the second book in the mind racing series called the Five Ancestors. To read these books, you have to think about every little thing. It makes the book the hardest to put down. This book is going to become super popular. You better read this awesome brain thriller. This story is about five monks and their temple that gets destroyed by a so called traitor monk. The young monks fled the temple and went their different ways. But four of them meet up again to fight the so called evil one. In the book the monks are also looking for a relative because they're orphans. This book is filled with action, mystery and more. At the start you might think it's only action but if you do, you are wrong. This series is written by Jeff Stone a good writer. One thing that is different about his series is that in each book, the same thing happens but in a different character's mind but still different. Another thing is in each book it switches from the main character to the so called traitor and his men. It makes you think even more. I hope your brain is up for the challenge to read this book and series. By the way, the first book is called Tiger. Happy Reading!

Awesome book

I really liked this book. It was a fun, easy read that kept me engaged. It was not only about kung-fu. After reading the first book in the series, Tiger, I hoped that Monkey would retell the story and it did not. I recommend that you read the books in order because it may be confusing if you don't.

It's amazing!

I found it a thrilling experience to read this book. His writing technique was perfect. I loved how he wove excitement and suspense together. It had an excellent ending and I can't wait to read the next one. Jeff Stone, great job! Other books I recommend are the Deltora Quest series, Wandering Warrior, Bluefingers (A Ninja's Tale), and The Guardians of Gahoole. I am 10 1/2 years old.

Terrific!!!!

What an awsome book!!! In The Monkey, it introduces Malao, the monkey-styled monk. After the Grandmaster's death, he sets out into the forest and discovers a new friend, the white monkey. When Malao heads back to the Cangzhen Temple, he finds Fu, and they steal the dragon scrolls. Together, they flee to a village and then the Shaolin Temple. During their travels, many secrets begin to unravel....... I hope that The Snake will be just as good!!
