Monstres is an unapologetically bold, genre-blurring rollercoaster that dares to blend crime, comedy, political satire, and a surprising dash of heart. The story follows a former Dutch entrepreneur-turned-criminal who finds unexpected peace in a sleepy mountain village in southern France. However, peace doesn’t last long for someone whose past is marred by corruption, bribery, and clandestine dealings with the underworld.
What makes Monstres unforgettable is its audacious mix of elements: dark humor collides with genuine human emotion, and absurd escapades are paired with biting commentary on power and society. As the protagonist teams up with an unlikely crew of ex-criminals and eccentric villagers to launch a global plan for positive change (with a few kidnappings and steamy encounters along the way), readers are taken on a journey that’s as unpredictable as it is entertaining.
The narrative is slick, cinematic, and at times, deliriously funny. But beneath the wild antics lies a deep critique of the systems that bind us and the chaotic beauty of trying to break free.
If Quentin Tarantino, Guy Ritchie, and Gabriel García Márquez had a lovechild, it would be Monstres. A wild, weird, and wonderfully human tale that proves monsters can change, and maybe, just maybe, save the world in their twisted way.
This was my first review on goodreads, and it was a very nice suprise.
