John Dies at the End
von David Wong
The word-of-mouth phenomenon read online by over 50,000 readers is now available in print!Telling the story now, I'm tempted to say something like, "Who would have thought that John would help bring about the end of the world?" I won't say that, though, because most of us who grew up with John thought he would help end the world somehow.It's a drug that promises an out-of-body experience with each hit. On the street they call it Soy Sauce, and users drift across time and dimensions. But some who come back are no longer human. Suddenly a silent otherworldly invasion is underway, and mankind needs a hero. What it gets instead is John and David, a pair of college dropouts who can barely hold down jobs. Can these two stop the oncoming horror in time to save humanity? No. No, they can't.

Rezension von Kristin KnillmannOk, first things first: Don't read this if you dislike the three malevolent p's - piss, poo and penis humour. Because this book is crammed with it right up to the top. <blockquote>...And, well, that's my story," I said. "I'm sorry that it's so, you know. Retarded.</blockquote> You know, I really love some good ol' penis humour. But if that'd be the only thing great about this book, it probably would've gotten about three stars. Instead I'd like to award five stars, because it may be one of the best books I've read in quite a while. "John Dies at the End" is not only extremely funny with its crude jokes and word play and weird characters, it also leaves you wanting to turn the pages before you even finished the one you're reading. You so badly want to know what happens next in the strange world of David and John. And guess what: the experience will definitely be different than what you've expected initially. The bastard just keeps changing and shuffling. Because this is what "John Dies at the End" is best at: It presents you a completely absurd story that is different in all its facets, then it twists and turns until it hurts - and in the end everything still makes sense. Or it doesn't. That may depend on you. Bottom line: This was one hell of a ride. I loved it to (John's) death.
