While this is the third book in the series, it is not entirely necessary to have read the first two books, so you can dive right in to this one, if you would like to, but I would definitely recommend reading all three 'Dave and John' books, two of which can be found here on Audible. A few reviews mention that the book is perhaps too dark and depressing in places, but for me these sections gelled with the rest of the narrative and did not awkwardly stand out. When David Wong (AKA Jason Pargin) released 'Fancy Suits' I, of course read it, as a dedicated Wongian (a term I hope gains traction) and was a little disappointed that the author seemed to be departing from my beloved John, David and Amy! So, you can imagine my delight when 'What The Hell Did I Just Read' dropped and it certainly does not disappoint! I have always enjoyed and been fascinated by Wong's ability to force his audience to imagine creatures, worlds and powers that should defy all imagination, yet are visualised in such a vivid realism that it is uncanny! There is one scene in 'What The Hell Did I Just Read' that stands out in particular, all about breakfast, that still stays with me now and I am sure that it will stay with you, long after you haver read it. Better not be the last in the Dave & amp John saga!
