This book is awesome. It's also quite, quite gory, bat-shit insane, funny and probably very bad for you. On this basis you must read it. It's like Cthulhu woke up one aeon and thought....I know I'll write a comedy where two nut-job slackers with psyche problems, Gen-Y morality and poor hygiene fail to save the world, themselves or even their dog (and my dears, it's quite a dog). However, what I will do is this...I'll make it compelling, exciting, funny, and I'll really let my imagination go to town.
After that I imagine Cthulhu decided to have a frozen mexican
Wong (really Jason Pargin) has written a book with such gusto, style and energy that I basically stopped reading anything else for the four days it took to get through this. That means I put down Reamde and stopped playing Arkham City. It's that good.
What more can I say? I think Lovecraft would have hated it but that guy was a nasty little misanthrope anyway so who cares what he would have thought. Personally - I loved it.
Word of warning though. It's filthy and gory but somewhat bizarrely, despite the reviews on the cover, it isn't remotely scary.
