"Fan favorite David Wong takes readers to a whole new level with this blistering sequel to the cult sensation John Dies at the End, soon to be a movie starring Paul Giamatti Originally released as an online serial where it received more than 70,000 downloads, John Dies at the End has been described as a "Horrortacular", an epic of "spectacular" horror that combines the laugh out loud humor of the best R-rated comedy, with the darkest terror of H.P. Lovecraft. The book went on to sell an additional 60,000 copies in all formats.As the sequel opens, we find our heroes, David and John, again embroiled in a series of horrifying yet mind-bogglingly ridiculous events caused primarily by their own gross incompetence. The guys find that books and movies about zombies may have triggered a zombie apocalypse, despite a complete lack of zombies in the world. As they race against the clock to protect humanity from its own paranoia, they must ask themselves, who are the real monsters? Actually, that would be the shape-shifting horrors secretly taking over the world behind the scenes that, in the end, make John and Dave kind of wish it had been zombies after all. Hilarious, terrifying, engaging and wrenching, This Book Is Full of Spiders, the next thrilling installment, takes us for a wild ride with two slackers from the midwest who really have better things to do with their time than prevent the apocalypse.

I only read the first 44 pages of this book... it does have some funny moments that made me laugh out loud, but both the humor and the writing is just too juvenile for me to spend much time with... ( )

You might well think that a book about parasitic, trans-dimensional spider-like parasites taking over your brain would not be humorous. In other hands, you might be right. But David Wong manages to take a thriller-adventure and by virtue of brilliant narration turn it into a literal laugh-out-loud novel. Now I need to go read the prior book, [b:John Dies at the End|1857440|John Dies at the End (John Dies at the End, #1)|David Wong|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1189289716s/1857440.jpg|1858059].
[Audiobook note: excellent reader]. ( )

I listened to this on audio, and I think I'll continue that for [b:What the Hell Did I Just Read|33574090|What the Hell Did I Just Read (John Dies at the End, #3)|David Wong|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1488489522l/33574090._SY75_.jpg|54380521] because these books demand a virtuosic performance, and Nick Podehl rises to the occasion! I actually hadn't noticed a change in narrator from the first book so that was a smooth transition.

John Dies at the End was put together from a web fiction serial, so This Book Is Full of Spiders feels more cohesive as it was intentionally written from the start as a book. The tone still feels very early 2010s to me, but listening to a story about an outbreak and people reacting out of fear during a global pandemic feels thematically appropriate! Like it's predecessor, this book continues to be simultaneously the most disgusting thing I've heard while also being hilarious. The book isn't wrong in that people act stupid during an outbreak and I'm curious to see where we go in the next...

also I'm still sad about Molly, best girl. :( ( )

You know how sometimes when you're drifting off to sleep you feel that jolt, like you were falling and caught yourself at the last second? It's nothing to be concerned about, it's usually just the parasite adjusting its grip.
