Review
This is a relatively short book - one that could be easily read in an afternoon, but I found myself savoring it over several days. About 1/2 through I found myself thinking that I would keep this on my bookshelf forever, but having finished it I know I must send it on to the next reader to also savor and enjoy! There is humor, pathos, romance, and comtemplative soul searching all rolled into this story. Rebecca and Mike are characters that I could see myself having dinner with and calling my friends; Phoebe is just quirky and eccentric enough to make me want to invite her too just so the evening didn't get too quiet! I loved this book. --http://www.paperbackswap.com/Monk-Downstairs-Plus-Tim-Farrington/book/0061122424/
