About the Author

Marques Watson has taken time away from accruing debt and frying his brain in graduate school to rekindle his love of writing. He has written numerous poems, prose, political articles, and short stories. His debut novel, Leave It To The Apes is his introduction into allegory and political story telling. He has lived in a warzone and paradise. The warzone being 1990s South Central Los Angeles where he saw what community division and overzealous police could cause. He then attended UCLA and the Monterey Institute of International Studies, two schools located in affluent areas where the aforementioned division and policing are simply television series plots. His experiences and observations have combined to form his worldview: a cautionary view of both the people and the government.

I really enjoyed this book. The start was a little sluggish but I understand that an understructure was needed. Thrust through the first few pages and you will get to the heart of this novel. There were many times I needed to put the book down but could not. I delayed in reading the last chapter because I didn't want to story to end. As this is the first novel by this author, I look forward to reading more from M.B. Watson.

This is an exciting depiction of how modern advancements are likely to derive from unexpected resourses. The Apes are the the X-factor and typically society has improved itself with the contributions from the elements that were not apart of the initial plan. {I.E. The Civil Rights Movement}

4.0 out of 5 stars An effortless, engaging and entertaining read.

I read this short novel in about 2-3 hours. The story starts out slow and is very ambiguous, leaving the reader to wonder what exactly is going to happen. The catalyst for the action occurs though and from there, the story propels forward at a mostly consistent pace, making it an easy read.

The story, while it has some slow moments, has a plot that keeps the reader interested. The author makes good use of foreshadowing throughout the novel, cluing the reader into the events that will inevitably come into fruition but does so without giving away too much, leaving a smidgen of hope that maybe the events will take a different turn. By doing this, the author emotionally pulls his audience into the story.

Character development is alright, but considering the focus of the story is the society as a whole rather than the individuals, this can be overlooked; with that said, the most likeable character is Gowak. I think that the author makes a small mistake in introducing too many other minor characters during the falling action of the story, but again, the significance of the story can be found in the actions of the society rather than the individuals.

From the Panthers to the Elder Guard to the apes, the allegorical elements of the story are poignant. Overall, Leave It To The Apes is a great debut from a promising writer and can be enjoyed by most ages as a thought-provoking read.
