Mysterious explosions have rocked the planet, setting off a series of supernatural phenomena known as the Death Stranding. Spectral creatures that devour the living have pushed humanity to the brink of extinction, causing countries to fall and survivors to scatter and live in pockets of isolation. Sam Porter Bridges, the legendary porter with the ability to return from the world of the dead, has been entrusted with a critical mission by the President of the United Cities of America.

I want more
Revisado: 03-09-24
I am reading this story because I am a lore junkie for Death Stranding and this game, and it certainly delivers in terms of giving me perspectives of characters beyond that of Sam. There are definitely moments where you get experiences of NPCs which are not in the game, and I really loved this.
But that said, there are lots of characters/preppers/knots which are not included in this story. And as a result I felt like this story was just incomplete.
Death Stranding is an epic narrative, and to that end I think it would have been reasonable to flesh this out 2 or even 3 times its current length. There is a deliberate tedium to the game which is totally avoided here as this is a pretty breezy read. I was just hoping for this to better emphasize the size and scope of the journey.
It's honestly like those moments in Death Stranding where you bring a new prepper on the Chiral Network, and it shows you the larger map of the United States. You find yourself saying "Wow, already this far along."

The Humorist: Adventures in Adulting & Horror Movies captures the moments both silly and sincere that define the process of coming-of-age, weaving in unexpected analogies to the history of horror cinema that speak to our universal need for human connection through cultural objects, the gift of fear, and the healing power of laughter.

Heartwarming and nostalgic
Revisado: 07-10-23
Mike’s writing is witty and charming and he does well putting words to the existential crisis of “adulting,” among other topics. The audiobook was expertly performed and I particularly enjoyed Cavaliere’s voice for the Matt Clay character (an embodiment of non-toxic machismo if there ever was one).

Samantha is a professional seductress and con artist with a heart of gold. If she talked about her work, she’d tell you she only pilfers organs for medical research and that she only takes one kidney, and she only steals those kidneys from dishonest people. It’s hell on her social life. Abe is the doctor and Sam's partner in crime. He isn’t much of a criminal. Except for the kidney stealing. But he’s using that money to fund his research that he anticipates will be able to cure diabetes. So, all for a good cause...? You decide. Of course, it's hell on his social life.

Absolutely delightful, if not an eensy suspenseful
Revisado: 02-15-20
I found this to be a real treat. The cast is vibrant, the story moves at a great clip and I was hooked right from the jump. Ed Begley Jr. was my favorite and I’m not crying, you are.
