The idea is solely original, smattering of this fantastical world that Ruff has created. Jane’s style (which, by the way, is Ruff’s) is helped by being in co-juncture with an eccentric story. As you devour her speech, mannerisms and theology, you become wrapped up in it because she is so allusive and intriguing. Jane is this comedic yet untrusting narrator which allows you to flip between like ability and annoyance with a wonderful balance between. Bad Monkeys relies on this point of view telling to, not only take us on her journey, but be willing to follow her pursuits in, what may seem like, pure insanity. Taking us through the story via the narration of Jane, Ruff’s character adds this flippancy and sarcasm to the tale that is brimming with hysterics. The style of Ruff’s writing has this unique flair that is absorbing from the beginning. But can she face her own demons as well as the ones running amok the world? As an assassin, technically, Jane must battle against her past (one that is stepped in horrible mistakes,) and her rambunctious nature in order to prove that she has what it takes. However, Jane is insistent that this isn’t the case, that she has been hired by an unknown organisation to take down “evil” otherwise dubbed as Bad Monkeys. After all, she had just murdered several people. The book by Matt Ruff, Bad Monkeys centres on Jane Charlotte a woman who has been held in a mental institute and a doctor is there to assess her situation.
