I personally thought that it was definitely one of the best books that I have read in my lifetime. If any of you have read this I would really like to hear your thoughts on it. The end really gave me hope that the second book in the series (This Book is Full of Spiders Seriously Dude, Don't Touch It) is going to be as good as John Dies at the End, if not better. The way that it was written from David's point of view (since that he is telling the story to a reporter) really makes you feel like that you are experiencing what David is experiencing, every twist and turn and confusing moment included. An estimated 70,000 people read the free online versions before they were removed in September 2008.

The characters of John and David were definitely some of the best that I have seen in a book in a while, what with John's more or less idiocy and David's rational thinking, the book really sucks you in. John Dies at the End is a comic horror novel written by David Wong that was first published online as a webserial beginning in 2001, then as an edited manuscript in 2004, and a printed paperback in 2007, published by Permuted Press. It wasn't the gore that got me, it was the vibes that certain parts of the book gave off. This was also my first ever 'horror' type book that I have read, and it did creep me out a bit, but not enough to make me stop reading. Personally, the humor at the start and around the end in the complex were the funniest. John Dies at the End was the first book to make me laugh in a long time, even though it drops off from being humor based after the prologue, to being more serious, while still maintaining humor throughout the rest of the 400+ pages. It was definitely the most unique book that I have read in a long time, what with its adult oriented humor and its cosmic horror vibe. It was the first book in a long time that I actually sat down and couldn't stop reading it.
