Kat reviewed John Dies at the End by David Wong
Began fun but it's not good
2 stars
This begins as crass fun but it becomes very clear that it was never envisaged that this book might be read by someone other than a horny American white boy

Tries to go for funny and modern/internet-ish language, but ends up just being just a mishmash of mentions of the word "penis", disjointed episodes revolving around cthulhu-esque monsters, and a smattering of slurs (both racial and mental-health related) that maybe are meant to "be in character" but seemed gratuitous to me.
I was amused and entertained at first, but after reading a good third of the book I realized that the only ideas the author had were to keep dialing up the literal shit, dicks and the slurs.
