John Dies at the End by David Wong
John Dies at the End

BCTransplant, July 12, 2012

Think you know what happens at the end of this book? Think again! This is a roller coaster ride of a book that abducts you into its really messed-up alternative universe with some really fun writing to entertain you on the journey. The two main characters--the narrator and his titular buddy--engage in an obscenely funny, screwball friendship that felt completely real. I loved the way the college-boy humour splayed seamlessly against a scary, surreal backdrop, with both elements somehow in perfect balance.
