Not quite as good as the first 2 but still really good. Much more introspective which was nice.

I thought the writing was really fun and I laughed out loud quite a few times. I thought it dropped off hard in the last act though.
This was an incredibly weird book just like the title says. I had no idea what was going on half the time but it’s still managed to tie all the loosens together in the end. It did make me want to read John dies in the end, because I completely didn’t realize this was a series until I was 2/3 through the book.
I'm embarrassed to admit how much I enjoy David Wong's unique writing style. With the subtlety of a 12-year-old, he writes about the human condition and the troubles of living in a modern industrialized society and tells juvenile jokes about human anatomy and bodily functions. It shouldn't work, but somehow it does.
The John dies books are horror, comedies. The horror parts are scary and grotesque, the comedic parts are funny and grotesque. The books don't really make sense and that's ok. Why should interdimensional cosmic horrors have motivations that can be understood by humans?

Best one of the trilogy. Characters are developed, still funny and irreverent.

It's was okay. Weaker book from the series. Felt more as a action scifi than horror.
