À propos de cet audio

It's the story "They" don't want you to listen to. Though, to be fair, "They" are probably right about this one. To quote the Bible, "Learning the truth can be like loosening a necktie, only to realize it was the only thing keeping your head attached". No, don't put the book back on the shelf - it is now your duty to purchase it to prevent others from listening to it. Yes, it works with audiobooks, too, I don't have time to explain how.

While investigating a fairly straightforward case of a shape-shifting interdimensional child predator, Dave, John, and Amy realized there might actually be something weird going on. Together, they navigate a diabolically convoluted maze of illusions, lies, and their own incompetence in an attempt to uncover a terrible truth they - like you - would be better off not knowing.

Your first impulse will be to think that a story this gruesome - and, to be frank, stupid - cannot possibly be true. That is precisely the reaction "They" are hoping for.

Listening to this was pure fun. The story is both silly and smart. The title really fit the narrative but as much as it goes in every which way, it is well build. The characters are great and the whole novel is highly enjoyable. Also the reading is masterfully delivered. Masterfully here meaning it embodies the craziness of the characters but is still understandable and not overplayed. Cudos.

Witty, silly, smart

If you have been following the saga through John Dies at the End and This Book is Full of Spiders you know our protagonists can see supernatural, pan dimensional beings due to a power given to them by a drug they call Soya Sauce. It is a decent adventure with kidnappings, battles, shady government(?) organizations, reality tv stars, shape shifting aliens and batmantis. The humour is sophomoric, that doesn't make it any less funny but if you don't like dildo shooting cannons, fart and dick jokes, this might not be the book for you.

I enjoyed it and I felt the performance by Stephen Thorne was very good and captured the spirit of the material.

Amusing and a little weird

This book changed my life. I am a sucker for surprising storylines and feeling like I am a part of the conversation.

Easily sucked into the plot, vivid imagery, and a gripping experience, this is my favourite book. It's the first I read in the series, and I hope you read it too.

This series slaps, everytime. Read it. If it's your first with the series, read it then read the others.

Read it!!!!

I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would! I was in a bit of an audiobook paralysis having returned or quit a bunch of titles and randomly picked this based on positive reviews.

The greatest strength of this book is I never had ANY clue where it was going, I was just along for the ride. The performance was fine and I didn't find myself being drawn out of the story.

My only complaint is that the book is a bit ...bro-y. It's not that I mind the dick jokes, inclusion of silicone butts and James Bond like femme fatales, rather it's the characterization of Amy I take issue with. She is a character full of potential but ultimately reads as a woman written by a man. While Pargin made some effort to flesh out her characterization with POVs and backstory, Amy still read as the "girl" foil for David and John. Where they're amoral drug addict and sad sack agents of chaos, Amy is their opposite: kind, patient, thoughtful, protective, nurturing with a moral compass. As a woman reading this book, her role in perpetuating the narrative and the overall themes made me roll my eyes and sigh. But, I've read FAR worse.

In general, the story was well-paced without being too formulaic, trippy but not too abstract, and, most importantly, felt fresh. I recommend!
