Review of 'John Dies at the End' on 'Goodreads'

Maybe you’ve been in this situation: You’re at a party, or a bar, and you find yourself talking to some guy sitting or standing next to you. It’s late, and everyone is a bit altered, but this guy seems to be beyond the norm. His eyes are wide and he’s a bit manic. He’s telling some story and you can’t remember how it started. But it just seems to go on and on getting more improbable the longer he talks. The story barely makes any sense, and you don’t believe a word of it. But clearly he does. He’s emphatic that no, this stuff happened to him and his friend. No, his friend’s not here, but if he were, he would back up this story 100%. So this story keeps going on and on, and you find yourself thinking “how did I get in this situation” and eventually “oh God, will this story ever stop?” Yeah, sure, the story is funny at times, but you don’t know this guy, or anyone else in the story, and you really don’t care. Especially since it all seems so crazy and so implausible.
