You did the same thing I did crab,clicked on that link.
I started reading-finished it late last night.
It was SO GOOD!!
Funny,horrible,slightly scary.
It got a little tedious cause you could tell where the author stopped the story and then picked it up again at a later date but it was still better than alot of famous unnamed people I have read.

I totally see a young smartass Vince Vaughn playing John in a movie version.

Yeah, what I've read of it is mostly pretty funny with a little bit of scary mixed in...that thing at the beginning about the creature that looks like a badger and also like an anaconda--a "badgerconda"--caught my attention. "This guy's kooky," I thought.

My favorite part is when John grabs the chair when they are in Las Vegas fighting at the Luxor and starts acting like that wrestler? I laughed my ass off cause I could SEE that scene in my head.

The characters are totally insane because,well..wouldn't we all be in their situation?
It's just so funny when ,here they are looking straight at a nightmare and, they are cracking off these sarcastic one-liners.

I also thought is was hilarious at all the ways John answered his phone when Dave called him.

You know....I think I like this book or whatever it is. "On-line word-of-mouth phenomenon," "web novel," whatever you want to call it, this is some entertaining stuff.

I have been reading the message boards at Wong's webpage and the paperback version ($19.95 if you missed the billions of ads for it:) ) of this has been edited for a more streamlined consistant story. (although no one really seems to be that upset-and most say it is still a very good read)

I spent the whole day yesterday reading this 'web novel'

very much in the style of Dean Koontz, and as he's my favourite author, that's probably why i enjoyed it so much :)

I also thought there was enough material in this for two books not just one
