A review by vinayvasan
Apocalypse Now Now by Charlie Human

3.0

A darkly humorous snarky book with an interesting S African setting and a fairly compelling lead character on the lines of Jorg, if no one else. The book changes tone from the 1st 1/3rd to the 2nd 1/3rd to completely going over the top towards the end. The tonality shift is handled well in the first instance but goes totally goes weird towards the end. A fast paced, witty read, there is a rich exploration of African mythology. Weird characters and weird dreams populate this weird but immensely enjoyable book. Sucker Punch movie is the closest analogy to this book
