This second in the John Dies at the End series is as full of hilarious, sometimes frightening, frequently gory story-telling, well written characters and a compellingly twisty, page-turningly action-packed plot as the first. (Count my hyphens and despair) Best of all, this author REALLY knows how to stick a landing. The ending fully satisfies and the denouement reframes everything you just read in a way that made me shake my head in admiration. Not to say this book isn’t without flaws. The only female character is a delightful young, one-handed woman who is nevertheless only motivated and defined by her relationship with the male protagonist and is at times too perfect a girlfriend, with a back-story far better realized than her personality. And there are moments where the author uses racially loaded words and well-meaning but at times problematic vernacular when dealing with characters of color. I don’t feel truly qualified to determine if a line was crossed, but it did give me pause. Otherwise, another job done really well, and I highly recommend this and the first book in this series.

More soy sauce! Please! I’m completely addicted! Seriously though, I loved this book and need more of them.

Honestly I preferred the first book, John Dies at the End. It doesn't matter, this book is still a great read. The tone of the book is a little different, more serious, less off the rails crazy. But it is still fast paced and a lot of fun.

This is a must read if you enjoyed the first book, it's just as messed up and crazy as the first!! It starts out kinda slow I must admit but it quickly turns into a page turner and it's very hard to put down after you start getting in to the good stuff. I would recommend this book to anyone who gets easily bored with regular books, I'm one of those people ( ironically i love to read ) so it is refreshing to have a book I can't put down. But seriously read this book....and prey you don't get infected ;-)

Wonderful book. Highly recommended to anyone who reads.

I enjoyed this book just as much as the first one. I read through it in two days. I also found myself checking for spiders every couple days haha. The next one can't be released fast enough. If you like be scared and/or laughing, this book is a definite buy.

This book needs to get optioned into a movie ASAP.

For real funny and scary, borderline even touching. More than once while reading I ineffectually spoke to the book out loud. Reading is advised.

This book is witty, crass, philosophical and spiritual. It will make question what it means to be alive, what it means to be human, and what solidarity means.

This is the second book of David Wong's series. And it's every bit as good as John Die's at the End. If you enjoy horror and have that special taste in humor then this book along with the first are epic story's in my opinion.
