Review
"With verve and velocity, the story moves...one cinematic set piece after another, strung together with twisty fun and wit." - The New York Times Book Review "Cracked.com executive editor Wong (This Book Is Full of Spiders) unabashedly trolls everyone and lampoons everything in this beautifully outrageous science fiction adventure...Biting humor and blatant digs at modern society overlay a subtly brilliant and thoughtful plot focused on one young woman’s growth and survival against all odds." - Publishers Weekly, starred review"All right, grab some popcorn and strap in. We're in for another profane and funny roller-coaster ride from Wong...Some of the sci-fi elements are comic book–y and the humor is as juvenile as ever, but the book more than makes up for any shortcomings with its Technicolor tomorrowland, mischievous humor, and frenetic action sequences." - Kirkus Reviews "Well-timed humor and explosive thrills, a smart backbone, and witty wordsmithing make this new release by Cracked.com’s pseudonym-wielding Jason Pargin (John Dies at the End, 2009) as fun as it gets. Steer this one toward readers of sf with a sense of humor, and fans of Max Barry’s satirical futuristic novels." - Booklist, starred review"Wong has proven himself a master of both the hilarious and the horrifying, and this newest work aims his brilliantly cynical comedy style at a possible future for our society...Wong is a keen observer of the human condition, and is able to translate that into an apt, and often snarky, prediction for society’s trajectory...Like Jonathan Swift for the internet age, Wong’s novel offers an engrossing journey and razor-sharp wit inside of an uncanny prediction of an American future. His humor ranges anywhere from blatantly poking fun at our world to more subtle aspects of life that one would not even think of until pointed out. Wong’s capability as an author has steadily matured since he won cult status with John Dies at the End in 2007, and his newest is only more proof that he will be remembered as one of today’s great satirists." - Nerdist"With plenty of unexpected twists and turns along the way, you'll almost be sure that you forgot to plug your blink feed in, as we face even more perils than Zoey Ashe could have dreamt of, and that's just the holographic Christmas decorations. A sofa clutching read from beginning to end, and a great look at the constantly growing world of social networking." - Starbust, 9 out of 10 stars“David Wong’s writing style is a great mix of Tom Robbins meets Philip K. Dick. You could throw in some Christopher Moore as well. Wong’s sense of comedic timing is honed to perfection from his time spent as Executive Editor at Cracked.com. He has his finger on the pulse of popular culture, current trends, and how quickly both can become absurd and take civilization to places that it should not go...Fast, fun, brutal, hilarious, and quite thought provoking, Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits is highly entertaining and well worth every page turn. Whether a reader is familiar with Wong’s work or not, this novel is indicative of the writer’s talent for mixing wit and violence." - New York Journal of Books

This book is amazing. It is like binge watching Futurama while playing a hyper real video game full of violence and insanity. If that doesn't sound like your thing, I am sorry I can not fully explain the brilliant madness that is Wong's Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits. I became obsessed with his writing while reading John Dies at the End (also fantastic) and the writing in his second novel still haunts me to this day (in a good way.) If you want a unique reading experience that will leave you so fulfilled and wishing there was so so much more, this is exactly what you should be buying. Do it now. Don't wait. Stop. Don't click away. You must read this. Your life probably depends on it.
Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits by David Wong is an insane, hilarious, fun ride. I'm not new to David Wong's sense of humor or knack for the strange storytelling, but this book caught me by surprise. I've come to know that Wong's humor is abrupt, childish, and satisfying (particularly when he sets a joke up in an early chapter, just to get to the punchline near the end of the story). I loved this book and here's why.Likes:I have to start off by saying I really liked Will Blackwater. Not only is he a "dead-eyed robot" with a proclivity for intense bulls***ting, but he's smart, quick, clever, and an alcoholic with a love for suits. He's a ridiculous character, right down to his name, which is joked about in the book itself.I also really liked Zoey Ashe. She was somehow relatable without actually being relatable to me personally AT ALL. She's an abuse survivor who wants nothing to do with her dead-beat father, has unconditional love for her kinda-effed-up mother, and her closest relationship is with her cat, who she named Stench Machine.The other characters (the Suits: Echo, Budd, and Andre; Molech and his crew; the League of Badasses; etc.) are really interesting and fun characters also. I know there is no romance in the book, but I couldn't help picturing a Will/Zoey relationship, which made all their scenes together even better. Who cares if he's almost 20 years older than her? I pictured him younger.The storyline is a big high point for me, also. The blurb's I've read for this book are extremely vague. I can't believe such a good story stems from such a bad blurb. Honestly. Zoey lives in the middle of nowhere with a minimum wage job and no idea what she's doing tomorrow, let alone with the rest of her life. Unbeknownst to her, her no-show father has died and left all his "dirty" money (etc.) to her, making her a target to a bunch of bad people. I don't want to go into much more detail, but just know this was a wild ride, with a REAL plot; ignore the blurbs.The setting of Tabula Ra$a is awesome in my opinion. A made-up futuristic city where the richest and poorest of people converge among technology we can't imagine? Sign me up. The Blink network that broadcasts everything everywhere all at once? Don't sign me up, but I will gladly read about it. The technology and the setting were A+ in my book. It was a character in itself.I do happen to love the cover for this book, too, which kind of makes me feel like I'm a cover-lover.David Wong's style of writing and humor was the main reason I bought this book. I'm familiar with John Dies at the End and This Book Is Full of Spiders: Seriously, Dude, Don't Touch It, and when I say "familiar," I mean that I love them. I practically grew up with JDATE, reading it back when it was only posted on the internet and not a tangible book to be purchased. There's something about Wong's style that makes me giddy and excited to read, happy to follow along these dysfunctional characters while they go on these ridiculous adventures.I like that in the acknowledgements, which are very short and humorous and worth the read, that Wong mentions he's working on the third JDATE story and may come back to revisit Zoey and the Suits.Dislikes:I dislike that I can't read the sequel right now. I also dislike the fact that there may never be a sequel, or that it may only come years from now. I'm eager to dive back in with these characters.Recommend it?Whole-heartedly. I am a huge David Wong fan and I would recommend all three of his books to anyone who likes strange, funny stories with anti-heroes you grow to love.
I'm a big fan of the "John Dies at the End" universe from David Wong. I read JDATE waaay back when I was an Internet Baby and it was posted in sections on the Pointless Waste of Time website (which was wall-to-wall pornography advertisements last time I visited). I love Wong's writing style, sense of ridiculous comedy, and raunchy, savage descriptions of the (absolutely necessary) gore. I was also happy to read an interview from him recently where he credited both Stephen King and Douglas Adams as inspirational to him. Way cool!Disclaimer: Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits is a completely different universe than JDATE.In FVFS, Wong creates an extremely realistic near-future, and his unpretentious, casual observational descriptions makes all the situations instantly relatable, although many of the features of the city of Tabula Rasa and its populace are uncomfortably bizarre. There's desperation and opulence, destruction and triumph, evisceration and comedy. This world is successfully crafted to be immersive and repulsive at the same time... just like real life!The story features a reluctant hero (Zoey Ashe), who is assisted in trying to save the city of Tabula Rasa (a high-tech pop-up metropolis along the lines of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates) by her late father's team of "Suits", whose competence and motives are questionable at every turn. There's plenty of sci-fi violence, a deranged supervillain, some romance maybe?, and everything is punctuated with Wong's extremely improbable, near-nonsense humor. More than once I had to put my Kindle down so I could wipe the tears of laughter out of my eyes, mostly thanks to Wong's brutally honest (and crude) descriptions of Zoey's reactions to the adventure she had been thrown into.Without giving too much away: You'll have no trouble dropping into this "fictional" world and watching this fast-paced misadventure unfold. Once you think you have it figured out, something really weird flies in from left field to slap you right in the face, and you wonder how you didn't see it coming?? It's a wonderful balance of structure and fantasy.Keep 'em coming, David Wong! (Or don't. Do whatever you want, man.)
Every book Wong writes, he gets better and better. His first book was an amazing breath of fresh air, but was rather scattershot. This improved on his second ... But here, it really all comes together. The story of Zoey and the battle of her inheritance becomes a crazy fight between gangs of sociopaths -- some wearing suits -- and it is pitch perfect. The pacing is flawless, always giving you a moment to catch your breath when you need it, right before he floors it and ratchets up the tension. And Wong's perverse sense of humor is intact; the jokes are never delivered as punchlines, but just dropped in here and there, where a moment of levity is appropriate and needed. Wong is fastly threatening to become my favorite author. He defies simply genre defining, but don't let that scare you off. You owe it to yourself to check him out.
