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...

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...

This book was on a list from which I pull many of my reading selections. Every time I noticed this title on that list, there was always a brief pause while I speculated about it. Is John the main character? Does he in fact die at the end of the book, or at the end of something else? Is it a phys...

A rare DNF from me. Something like a bad comic book. No overall story arc, no character development - just not my tea.

John emerged after her, brushing a layer of dog hair off his clothes.John said, "Well, that's done... It was Molly's idea. She wants t...

The title of the book is better than what's inside, this book needed major editing to cut out tons of meandering crappy scenes.

John Dies at the End is one of those books that when asked to explain the plot, you can hardly do it justice. You’ll either sound crazy or….well, you’re just going to sound crazy. See, let me try. It’s about two friends named John and David who take this drug called Soy Sauce. It makes them see thin...

If Harold and Kumar swapped some DNA with The Ghostbusters and were birthed by Hunter S. Thompson on a Hitchhiker's Guide through the galaxy, you might end up with something kind of close to John Dies at the End. I had ZERO expectations going in to this book. I knew nothing except what I read on t...

I really expected to like this one. I'd seen a review that likened our to the same sort of humour as we saw in 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', but was very much disappointed. I love a bit humour.Life's too serious so you need a good but of silliness now and again our you'd go mad I think, bu...
