CousinDanny finished reading John Dies at the End by David Wong
CousinDanny reviewed John Dies at the End by David Wong
Arrested Development
2 stars
This has the comedy beats of a children's series along the lines of Goosebumps or Animorphs and the language and predilections of a teenage boy, but the subject matter of what should be an adult. Stylistically it reminds me of Snow Crash. A type of angsty adult man-child 'poonin his way through traffic like a cool guy. Failing on purpose and attracting manic pixie dream girls. If you like Deadpool or non sequitur humor like Family Guy, you'll probably be into it but personally I find it really annoying. Glad the author got his bag on this though. Good for you, bro.
