This Book Is Full of Spiders by Jason Pargin, David Wong
4.0
I listened to this on audio, and I think I'll continue that for [b:What the Hell Did I Just Read|33574090|What the Hell Did I Just Read (John Dies at the End, #3)|David Wong|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1488489522l/33574090._SY75_.jpg|54380521] because these books demand a virtuosic performance, and Nick Podehl rises to the occasion! I actually hadn't noticed a change in narrator from the first book so that was a smooth transition.
John Dies at the End was put together from a web fiction serial, so This Book Is Full of Spiders feels more cohesive as it was intentionally written from the start as a book. The tone still feels very early 2010s to me, but listening to a story about an outbreak and people reacting out of fear during a global pandemic feels thematically appropriate! Like it's predecessor, this book continues to be simultaneously the most disgusting thing I've heard while also being hilarious. The book isn't wrong in that people act stupid during an outbreak and I'm curious to see where we go in the next...
