Loading... This Book Is Full of Spiders: Seriously, Dude, Don't Touch It (John Dies…by David Wong
  
No current Talk conversations about this book.  CasualShino | Jun 2, 2023 |  I finally got around to reading the sequel to John Dies at the End. Only took me 9 years. I have no idea why I waited so long as I acquired Spiders not long after finishing the first book which I quite enjoyed reading. David & John, the two stoners, are back and along with Amy, David’s girlfriend, and a few other helpful souls need to save the world from things the normal world cannot see. Again! All the elements of the first book are there in this sequel. Horror mixed with (very) black humour as well as some more of the light-hearted variety on occasion blends well so you’re never too grossed out. The pace starts out fast and never lets up so while weighing in at almost 500 pages it’s still a quick read as we pass through the viewpoints of David, John & Amy depending on where the action is. Hopefully it’s not another 9 years until I come back to this series. (  ) AHS-Wolfy | Mar 29, 2023 | not as good as john dies at the end but still a good laugh ( ) ThomasNorford | Mar 7, 2023 | This is a really entertaining ... video game. The idea is unconventional, and there is a lot of (good) humour, but the story itself is not as thoroughly thought through as the reasoning behind it, I think. Too much of it feels random, with the protagonists never anywhere near being in charge of the situation. But maybe I lack important knowledge from the prequel. Kindlegohome | Jul 27, 2022 | This book was terrific! From page one it grabbed me and wouldn't let me go. There is action and suspense and fun on every page. "Spiders" is a sequel to "John Dies At The End", which I've not read but now must own as soon as possible. The author is someone to look out for because he is going to rocket to the top of this (sort of) new genre, where you laugh out loud and try to keep from pooping yourself because it's so frightened due to the pictures he paints with his words. I've heard they made a movie out of his first novel, "John Dies at the End". I don't watch t.v. or movies or any of that but can't wait to read the book. I hope the movie does well and spreads the word about this great new talent. (  ) dirtfarmer | Sep 12, 2021 | no reviews | add a review
"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.

Funny, gross, and thought provoking. Still racist though. (
