For Monks Only has an interesting mix of intense, stream-of-thought type emotional monologues and sophisticated literary devices. I liked that this was in 2nd person, giving the reader the chance to consider the story from their point of view. The snippets from other stories were mixed in just as your own life will have side stories and interactions along the way.I do wish there was a little more detail about the relationship between the main characters because I don't get a sense of accuracy in the description. And if things really are that way, the reader needs some more evidence. In this telling the smuttiness seems to be projected onto the girlfriend by the man's own behaviors and doubts. And he is searching, but not in the way that is implied.
This story is definitely worth the read, and I think I would enjoy a full-length novel by this author even more.

For Monks Only RalphMichael Chiaia 9780615959641 Books Reviews
There are very few novels written I. The second person, so I applaud the authors intrepid spirit I this attempt. The work presented here is unfinished, English is a second language for him and some portions of the attempt falter. Nevertheless I would encourage him to finish and spend some time with an editor. There is potential here.
I love the authenticity of the love story. But I craved more....wanted to know what happened next. I didn't like how the rest was left to my imagination.
Very creative, real, and to the point!
I appreciated the way the love story was written and how realistic the characters were. The author did a great job of telling an interesting short story. The author didn't overwhelm the reader with too many details and he did did a great job keeping the reader's attention.
This novel takes the reader on a journey through a dizzying array of thoughts that toss the author about in his own mind as he struggles to make sense of his attachment to his Liana. The shifts in pacing, streaming narrative, and kaleido-telescopic references add to the portrait of a narrator whose varied experiences deepen the love and stability that he feels and craves with her, but also ensure that "the only way to achieve this stasis is to go, to move, to roll"; and "you understand this when swimming, or bucket-deep in vodka and Red Bull, but in a few days when once again buttoning up your button-down shirt you will not remember. Peace is fleeting. This is no secret. The recollection vanishes."
This book grabbed me from page one and wouldn't let go until the very end. Having lived in Asia for the past 25 years, this book resonated strongly for me on a number of levels. The language and imagery in this book is honest, gritty, and visceral. If you have every lived or traveled in Asia for any length of time, this book will also strike an emotional chord or two inside of you. If you haven't, take a journey with Mr. Chiaia. You won't be disappointed.

When you get a book you come in with awesome expectations. I think this book went above my expectations. I really enjoyed this book. I think when writing a novella it can get crowded with unnecessary information but with this I was truly excited. It kept me interested and it still has me interested right now. If an author gives out all then it will overwhelm the reader but I think the author did a great job just allowing it all to flow without giving too much away. I appreciated the way the love story was written and how realistic the characters were.
I highly recommend this book and I know that whoever reads it will not be disappointed.
“For Monks Only” is simply brilliant! Strap yourself in because you’ll be hooked on this wild ride from Page 1 – and trust me, you won’t want to put this book down, even if your bladder is about to explode or your favorite TV sitcom is about to start!
In this vividly detailed journey of love, lust, jealousy, and self-exploration, injected with a full dose of witty insights and authenticity, you’ll take in the sights and sounds of some of Southeast Asia’s most exotic destinations, while being kept on the edge of your seat wondering what’s going to happen to this uncertain long-distance relationship between a young, adventurous New Yorker and his Korean girlfriend.
If you’ve ever dreamed of taking a stroll along the pristine, white sandy beaches of Malapascua Island in the Philippines, exploring the crystal clear emerald waters of Phi Phi Island in Thailand, or getting a taste of the bustling floating markets of Bangkok, you no longer have to make flight reservations. This book will take you there!
Highly recommended!
