I really enjoyed this re-read of David Wongs debut novel from 2007. Of course, the book has aged, especially the pop culture references feel really old (you guys still remember Fred Durst?), at the same time it takes you down nostalgia lane, because I cannot be the only one remembering listening to ...
This is another selection from the Albany Public Library Summer Reading Challenge. (Theme: "Out of this world.") The audio for this book was over 14 hours long. I often found myself thinking, "Henry James would call this book "a loose and baggy monster." Come to think of it, the book actually f...
I've been side-eyeing this novel for a long time, so when a recent trip brought us to a used bookstore I picked up a copy. I usually don't for recent books still in print, but I'm glad I went on the cheap side for this one. 'John Dies at the End' is mostly David Wong telling his story to a reporte...
So I say this everytime I review a book by this author, this was insane! It's set in the not-so-distant future where the cars are self driving, holograms are a normal thing, and most of the world lives their lives either creating or watching a continuous live stream of their mundane or extreme exis...
I feel like I say this every time I review a book from this series, but this was an exercise in insanity! Let me start by saying, there's only so much I can say without spoiling. I'm about to say something that may be of an unpopular opinion; I don't know because I haven't talked to anyone who ha...
John Dies at the End by David Wong My rating: 5 of 5 stars "Soy sauce" is the name for the mystifying new drug that begins to plague David Wong's life. David Wong isn't actually his real name. Did you know that "Wong" is the most common surname in the world? And "John" is the most common first name ...
David Wong is back for the third adventure in the John dies at the End series. Since I unexpectedly really loved the original #1 John dies at the End, I have kept reading all of Wong’s follow up books. But here’s the thing. None of the books have actually reached, let alone excelled his first novel....
I. Hate. This. Book. Okay, not really, but the ending, which I won't spoil, was upsetting. So let me tell you, this book was well and truly full of spiders. Gross. It made me shudder just reading about them!!!! This sequel was all together creepier, and more serious than it's predecessor. Jo...
This book was an exercise in insanity! This is not the first time I've said this about a book, and considering there are two sequels to this, it won't be the last! Sometimes I'm not sure if I'm too generous with my book ratings, or if I just have superb taste and amazing luck at picking great one...
"There's nothing new under the sun."If you're an insecure creative person, you'll hear this phrase quite often. Friends will try to build you up, because there's no easy (or friendly) way for them to say, "Maybe storytelling isn't for you, you know? Perhaps take up model-building or lint-collecting?...
