So Far In John Dies at the End.

It started with a party, with this freaky guy who looked like Bob Marley doing magic tricks that weren't possible, such as guessing dreams, which freaked Dave, the narrator, out enough for him to leave. Late that night, he gets a desperate phone call from his friend John, who seems to be hallucinating. After some investigating, Dave discovers that it was this new drug, called soy sauce, that has caused John's strange behavior. Shortly after making these discoveries, Dave accidentally injects himself with the soy sauce. The effect of the drug: knowing what's going to happen next, connections with the dead, and maybe even time travel. After an intense interview at the police station with Morgan Freeman, Dave learns that everyone else who injected the drug had died gruesome deaths. Then John died, that was upsetting for a moment, but then Dave got a phone call from John, so there is still a chance for John. Dave then runs from the police station, and does whatever John says over the phone, in hope to revive his friend. And that's where I am so far. I predict that Dave will somehow meet John again soon, and I really hope more freaky stuff happens to Dave because it's entertaining. Just the little comments in Dave's head about all the weird things that happen to him make me laugh. I honestly didn't expect this story to have as good of a plot as it does, and I'm excited to keep reading. Oh, and it's also a movie for those who also like movies.

  1. I have heard really good things about this book and it seems like something that I would like. I love the use of comedy in books as well as the use of fiction. It really seems to have a crazy plot and also a crazy title. My bet is that the author named it "John Dies at the End", so that people will want to read it and see how he dies. I will probably watch the movie first to see if i like it and then I might read the book. Keep me updated.
