“Showcases a dry wit that recalls early Woody Allen…Martin can add another line to his résumé: literary funnyman.” - New York Post Silly but incredibly smart, it’s exactly what puts me in awe of his work.” - Will Ferrell “This book embodies the essence of Demetri’s comedy to perfection, which is a good thing since he wrote it. A more mature story, however, I enjoyed the "blog" qualities that were a part of the first book and are missing from this one." He has a deft hand with the whole horror genre and does a great job with building tension with his action sequences. While this isn't as consistent through this book, Wong creates a truly scary story. The real joy of the first book was the interaction between John and David. "Okay, it wasn't as much fun as John Dies at the End, but it still was pretty amazing, especially the last 75 pages. Demetri's first literary foray features longer-form essays and conceptual pieces (such as Protagonists' Hospital, a melodrama about the clinic doctors who treat only the flesh wounds and minor head scratches of Hollywood action heroes), as well as his trademark charts, doodles, drawings, one-liners, and lists (i.e., the world views of optimists, pessimists and contortionists), Martin's material is varied, but his unique voice and brilliant mind will keep readers in stitches from beginning to end. From the renowned comedian, creator, star and executive producer/multiple title-holder of Comedy Central's Important Things with Demetri Martin comes a bold, original, and rectangular kind of humor book.
