    This is a good adaptation of such an insane book.

    I like this movie, I recommend it, and I recommend reading all of the books.

    Giamatii, guys!

    I first came across this when he was publishing it for free on a website. I lost an entire day at work reading it, then went home and ordered his self published paperback.

    Awesome book, and I think the movie did it justice.

      I read it through in one night on his website. Towards the end I felt like my eyes bled from the strain. Worth it.

      The shovel story was my first time coming across the “Ship of Theseus” question as well.

        Really hooked you too eh? I can’t remember how I came across it but I read the first page of the website and that was it, I was in. I think I read it for 4-5 hours at work without stopping. Crazy good book.

          Yep, never read someone who managed to hit that perfect balance of laugh-out-loud funny and actually creepy.

    The movie was pretty good, but the book is fantastic.

    One of my favorite movies that people usually haven’t heard of. Once that doorknob changed I knew I was going to love it.
