A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven,or How I Made Peace with the Paranormal and Stigmatized Zealots and Cynics in the Process by Corey Taylor
5.0
Firstly, let me make it clear, I am a HUGE Corey Taylor fan, I've been following his music for about 15 years now, and I have read all of his other books. That being said, this book had high standards to live up to... And it exceeded them.
This book was so quirky and weird and absolutely brilliant, especially in the way it was written. The thing I love about Corey's writing is, it feels like you're right there with him, sitting across from him at his kitchen counter just talking shit like old friends, catching up. He gets distracted and goes off into other little mini stories, and then pulls himself right back out of it by saying "fuck, we'll get into that more later, where was I again?" And I honestly just think that adds some Corey character... We can't always be 100% focused all the time, right?
While reading this book, I found myself wanting to go out and explore abandoned places and look for ghosts, but was also jumping at every noise I heard in my own house. I really just thought it was terrific and can't wait for another Corey Taylor book.
