I thought this one was pretty stupid.

[J.B. Mathias · Rating 2 out of 5]

While I like that this was an original story that read like a new episode of the show I wasn't that impressed by it. Some of the plot devices seemed too on the nose and a little silly in a way that didn't fit the characters or the show. Way too many characters who would not have bought into the monkey curse for a second were on board right away just as an example. It had its moments and did seem to write Dewey pretty accurately and he's the best character. Overall it was okay.

This show was always cute. The book was okay.

seri Malcolm pertama yang gue baca dan langsung jatuh cinta sama keluarga ini. Malcolm si jenius, Reese si cuek, dan Dewey si penakut. Nggak kebayang deh gimana hebohnya rumah mereka dipenuhi tiga anak cowok yang kerjaannya berantem mulu. Kebayang banget gimana rempongnya ibunya Malcolm dan juga ayahnya yang suka cuek tapi asik. Tapi gue penasaran sama sosok Francis, dia pastinya keren banget :)

This one isn't my fave of the series. It follows the adventure of the boys as they fight what they think is a cursed monkey that seems to be stuck to their family.
