daumari's review against another edition

As I said in my check ins: JDatE continues to be simultaneously the most disgusting thing I've read while also being super funny AND juvenile, with occasional sincerity. I'm very glad Amy continues to be a core viewpoint, and in a mystery where perceptions lie, it was neat to bounce between David, Amy, and John's perspectives on the same events.
In book 3, Stephen R. Thorne returns to narrate. I feel like Nick Pohdehl had an appropriate mania to his performance in 2, but honestly if I hadn't looked up the narrators I proooooobably wouldn't have noticed the change. I'm glad I read these via audio though, because the performance of shrieks and sounds for the various creepy specters and weirdos we encounter is just so fitting for this. Book 1 had some text-specific things that work better in that format (which makes sense as it started as a web serial), but as audiobooks they're short (under 15 hours) and fun.

A true return to form! I was somewhat disappointed in book 2, but I'm so glad that our author got back into the same feel as book 1. Funny, unpredictable, excellent!
