I prefer the first book, Welcome to Night Vale, since it is more hillarious. I come to continue the series with hope for something to lift my mood, lol, it turns a bit serious... ah.
It Devours! may be less hillarious but it is more poignant in talking about life; science and religion, I come to think again about these two. try this, I hope you all can enjoy it as much as I do.
still, I enjoy the first book more than the second. it drops unexpected laughs and I love Cecil's radio news which is not included in here, but there are pamphlets of Joyfully, It Devours! congregation. I tell you it is bizarre, lol, but still I enjoy the pictures. if it's not at least enlightening about the topic--I tell you I think the second book is more intriguing in dwelling about the topic than the former--I'm going to go rampage since the first book is seriously enjoyable.
try this, probably you can enjoy it more than I am! :3

Pretty bland. Tries to bounce science and religion off each other, but only creates a mess on the floor.

It's hard to not compare this book to the other companion book to Welcome to Night Vale "Welcome to Night Vale" when, though this book was interesting and had themes of religion and love and family, I also found a lot of it just fell flat for me. In Welcome to Night Vale it's almost like the randomness and silliness leads to something deeper and I feel that this book wanted to have that but, unfortunately, for me it just didn't and that made it kind of hard for me to get through.

I had no idea this was the second book in a series, or the 5th book based in Nightvale. I didnt know it was a podcast. It was weird and made little sense at times but I enjoyed it immensely and machined through it so it absolutely deserves a 4.

I've had "Welcome to Night Vale" in my podcast queue for a long time now and have never listened to it. It was recommended by someone or on some other podcast and the description sounded entertaining. But in the queue it has languished behind Limetown, Rabbits, Tanis, hello from the magic tavern, etc. When It Devours! came up as a suggested book I decided to take a chance on it and then, if my toes enjoyed the dip in the Night Vale pool, I would listen to the podcast.
It Devours!? Oh yeah, I've read that book. It was good enough to get to me to start the podcast.
This book was amusing enough to keep me entertained and sufficiently empty of any deep meaning - despite trying at times - to prevent me from thinking too hard. It bounced between three and four stars for me. In the end I settled on three, though in fairness it deserves three and a half. But not four. The humour felt too forced at times (like the puns in the Xanth novels where storylines are built around a punchline and often suffer for it).
In the end it provided more chuckles than eye-rolls and I did enjoy it. I'd recommend this to people who find the post cast amusing.
