You’re under the eye.The only defense is knowledge. You might want to change yours.You may not want to know about the things you’ll read on these pages, about the sauce, about Korrok, about the invasion, and the future. It’s too late.They’re watching you.My name is David Wong. STOP.You should not have touched this book with your bare hands.NO, don’t put it down. The book was followed by a sequel, This Book Is Full of Spiders, in 2012. That's the truth of it pile together everything we know and care about in the universe and it will still be nothing more than a tiny speck in the middle of a vast black ocean of Who Gives a Fuck.” Dark matter makes up 99.99 percent of the universe, and they don't know what it is. “Scientists talk about dark matter, the invisible, mysterious substance that occupies the space between stars. I do recommend this work to anyone, it’s very well written and fun. I’ve wondered why this author continues to keep the Pseudonym.
The fact that a non-Chinese man uses a Chinese name as a kind of fun Pseudonym may offend others as well so that’s something to ponder. Some of Wong’s fans may say I’m making too much of it, but if you have not read the book I want you to know about that beforehand. I don’t believe that the work is racist in any obvious sense, but there is something there when the words are used so often that it starts to make me feel uncomfortable.
I don’t mean just a few but some racial slurs I won’t repeat are said so often it made me take pause. This book may offend some people, so warning. I was dismayed as the long list of racial slurs that litter this work, some more than others. I had some times where I was impatient with the book, but eventually these parts always paid off. I can’t say I am a rabid fan, but I liked this author’s works enough to seek it out and read it all so that speaks, Pun unintended- Volumes. I enjoyed the work immensely as I have all of this authors other works. This is possibly the most mixed up and ADHD work I have ever read. There are times when the work has stupid dick jokes and quips that make me roll my eyes, other times I’m pasting post it notes to mark a poignant passage. The book in turns reminds me of Raymond Chandler, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Charles Burn’s comic books, The work of the Church of Subgenus, Jack Chick Tracts, The Outer Limits TV show and more. There are elements of Sci Fi, Noir, Hard Boiled Detective, Comedy and a few other genres. The book really cannot be described as horror, nor is it really a thriller. John Dies at the End is a novel written by David Wong (Pseudonym for Jason Parguin) that was first published 2007 by Permuted Press.
