Industry Reviews
"THE CHEESE MONKEYS...is...the book on graphic design that people have probably been urging Kidd to write. Rather than discourse on theory, Kidd has embedded his beliefs in the old, universally appealing stories of maturity, finding your calling in life and being inspired by, and loving, a demanding, serious and highly eccentric teacher....This story about growing up and finding your calling is funny and, almost despite itself, moving."
New York Times Book Review - Thomas Hine (10/14/2001)
"I spent the first 30 pages or so of THE CHEESE MONKEYS...wondering if I would ever come to care about Kidd's protagonist and his days as a student....However, it is a testament to Kidd's prodigious skills as a novelist that, by book's end, not only did I care deeply about his protagonist, but the growth and changes made by the protagonist seemed all the more dramatic, given his initial vagueness. THE CHEESE MONKEYS is a wonderfully witty book that trafficks in both well-observed commentary and outrageous shenanigans and antics; it does for art school what "M*A*S*H" did for the military."
