Not as strong as the strongest portions of John Dies at the End, but not as weak as the weaker portions. A lot of fun if you liked the first one, or want something uniquely weird with a snarky sense of humor.
Good, but not as good as John Dies at the End. I didn't enjoy the sections of the book that moved away from David's narration. His voice, and its interaction with John's ridiculousness and Molly's omnipotence, is what I feel really drives the book, so deviating from that voice is moving away from what makes the book great.
This book is probably more conventional than John Dies at the End, which I suppose really isn't saying all that much, since John Dies at the End is such a wonderfully odd book. It's certainly more cinematic. I haven't yet seen the John Dies at the End film, but this book,–with it's monster trucks, ramping, and time-stopping–reads like great action-horror-comedy flick. Even the chapter titles could directly transfer to being inter-titles for a film.
