Product Description:
From People Who Liked It
"It is rare for a book to produce uncontrollable laughter as loud as this one did. The narrator is at art college in the 1950s, and after failing to get the courses he wants, finds himself attending 'Introduction to Graphic Design,' taught by the inspiring, sadistic, and compelling Professor Winter Sorbeck. Through humiliation and excess he shows his naive young charges how to see the world through new eyes. This is a brilliantly entertaining debut -- intelligent, pitch-perfect, and enlightening."
-- The Times (London)
This story about growing up and finding your calling is funny and, almost despite itself, moving. Here the big ideas -- about growing, working, loving -- are all inside."
-- New York Times Book Review
An irresistible comic voice that sounds so modern, and so right, even as it re-creates the undergraduate life of the late 1950s."
-- Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Channeling Holden Caulfield via David Sedaris, Kidd produces a stellar debut."
-- Publishers Weekly
"A Joyride."
-- Miami Herald
Not only is [The Cheese Monkeys] sharp and funny, it's also one of the year's most original American novels."
-- Toronto Globe and Mail
From People Who Didn't
"Retro kitsch. Thoroughly sophomoric."
-- Entertainment Weekly
"The first section veers dangerously towards the predictable. Kidd has a way to go before his literary skills equal his artistic genius."
-- Time Out (New York)

A crisp witted look into the life of Chip Kidd, circa his college years. With intelligent energy, rebel humour, and snarky banter between characters, "The Cheese..." is an wild, cognitional ride where smile and laughter are the hitch-hikers. You'll start the car, accelerate into full speed, traverse many miles of entertainment, and crash with an empty tank; so be sure to buckle your safety belts for this one!

I picked up this book based on the title and cover art alone. Just happened to be looking for something different, and BOY, did this book deliver. I found myself reliving my own college days and (some) exploits through the main character--and discovered that the main character and I must have attended the exact same college nearly 30 years apart.
Thought that the font change was a very interesting feature of the evolving storyline--for a visual person like myself, I often wish more authors ... Read More

This book was purchased for a college class and its better than I thought it would be!
Rating: -
This is by far one of my most favorite books. I laughed out loud all the way through it.

I feel like a party crasher. I don't know why it took me so long to read "The Cheese Monkeys," I'd been aware of it for a number of years. Finally, in the dullest of doldrums, where every book I'd pick up ultimately failed to engage my imagination, I read this roaringly funny coming of age novel.
Written by graphic designer Chip Kidd, "The Cheese Monkeys" is a novel of art school academia, which I thought would bore me. However, the book is wholly original and thought provoking. ... Read More
