Braineater Jones by Stephen Kozeniewski
3.0
I originally picked it up as the description of the story reminded me of Planescape: Torment, which is an amazing video game. However, a zombie waking up and having a head as a friend is as far as the comparisons to each other go, and while Planescape is incredible, I felt this book was just average. The story starts off interesting, it leaves you wanting to know what is going on in this world and the Noir feel is a cool addition. The book also has several uses of good humor which I enjoyed and it did actually make me laugh a few times which is rare for me while reading.
What really hampered the book for me was the ending, the reveal of who he is, how he figured it out and the resolution all just was underwhelming for me. I don't want to ruin it with spoilers, but it didn't leave me wanting more. I read through fairly quickly, it was an easy read and enjoyable at times. With all that said, I'd say this book is more like a 2.5/5, or exactly average for me.
