A friend got this for me. She loved the pod and went to a live show and wanted to share that with me. I have tried 3 times and cannot get into it. 😕

It’s everything I could have wanted from a Nightvale book and more. Great job at world building without feeling out of place from the town the podcast created.

This book was AMAZING. The only thing that readers need to know if they want to read this book is: you need to listen to AT LEAST 3-5 episodes of the WTNV podcast to understand the stories told in the book and understand why the book is written the way it is. If you don’t do that then you probably won’t like this book at all

I love the podcast. The climax at the end of the second season was superb. Cecil is an amazing narrator and manages to make even the most mundane things seem interesting.
This book, however, had problems. I DNFd it around 40%, I think. The plot moved slow and the slow ramblings about things in Night Vale just didn't work. The podcast comes in twenty minute chunks, and Cecil's narration manages to make them interesting. This book was written like it should have been read by Cecil, but it wasn't, and that was detrimental to it, in my opinion.
Just listen to the podcast, instead.
