This book is all over the place. I am
curious to see the movie. John and David start taking a drug
nicknamed Soy Sauce that can cause a number of magical and
supernatural abilities in its user. Apparently the drugs sends its
users through time and parallel dimensions but sometimes when they
return they are no longer human. It takes a few chapters to get into
the story and to understand what exactly is going on. It is
horrifyingly, dream-like, hallucinatory descriptive. I thought it was
really strange but then I started getting into it. “You might be
able to read minds, make time stop, cook pasta that's exactly right
every time. And you can see the shadowy things that share this world,
the ones who are always present and always hidden.” I am not a big
fan of poop and penis jokes so those were getting kind of old really
fast but this book is so bizarre that I was really fascinated by it.
4 stars.
