And she isn’t just any woman. Her name is Joana, and she is a character from one of his unpublished novels. She demands he changes her story. Johnny soon finds out the characters from his books came to life. Some of them want to prevent him from suicide, while those unsatisfied
with their fates want to kill him. All that wouldn’t bother him if it wasn’t for Dominic. Hunted by his creations, the writer struggles through the night in which his biggest fantasies and darkest nightmares merge into a twisted reality.

I can't believe this guy paid for a bunch of AI reviews. You can tell the reviews are all fake because they all sound the same and use the same words.

Twisted book indeed. Definitely not for everyone. So, the writer tries to kill himself but the gun backfires and the characters from his books come alive which is where the madness starts. There is lot of twisted sexual scenes as well...

After I read it I can freely say that the author should apologize to the trees for this book coming into existence. However, something good did come out of it after all. I wrote a little poem:
"How prettier the world would be if there was one more branch for squirrels and monkeys to climb, let alone a whole tree,
How uglier the world is with a tree stump turned into sheets of paper to comprise a book like this!
The Craziest Book Ever Written is shit that no brain should eat.
If you have one toilet paper less use it to wipe your ass.
And to the man hiding behind the pen name of Mr. W, a toilet cleaner is the most you will ever be."

This is really insane story. And while it might sound crazy, it pushed me back to my childhood. I had a strange feeling of everything somehow being related to Twin Peaks. But never mind that. Despite having graphic scenes of extreme violence and sex, it still manages to preserve philosophy and tackle deep questions about human existence.
To avoid risking spoilers I will share a quote:
"Yet lucky people don’t care about the past. Lucky people don’t seek reasons and causes. They live in the present moment and go with the flow."

This book is deeply sick and twisted. The blurb seemed interesting. However, the content of the plot is so sick that I would honestly ban it. This book was allegedly published during the 80s under the title "Writer's Inferno" and got banned soon after. It isn't hard to see why.
The system of values of the protagonist who is thorn between suicide and his malformed desires for fornication worships perversion and reduces women to toys. He has no respect for religion, life or anything besides money and orgies. The writing style is poor as the so called "spirituality" this "novel" holds. I personally despise every line of this book.

I've made no secret of the fact that I absolutely love absurdist fiction because, let's be honest, that would be a weirdly specific thing to keep secret.
Anyway, for a while I've found myself lamenting that absurdist literature seems to be dead or forgotten as a genre. It's hard to find anything in the genre that was published after the 1970s.
Sure, there's the Bizarro genre, which draws heavily on absurdism and there's plenty of decent weird fiction being churned out if you know where to look for it (which, regrettably, I often don't) however as much as I love it, it lacks the philosophical underpinning of absurdism that separates absurdist literature from "weird for the sake of weird" books.
I found this book pinned to the top of list of absurdist works here on Goodreads and when I saw it had been published this year, I nearly fell of my chair because I'd been drinking heavily and to be honest I've never been great at maintaining a stable centre of gravity anyway.
So I bought the book and read it (it took me about an hour - it's a very short book) and it's a damn fine book. Pretty much the exact kind of book I want to read and that the world needs a whole lot more of.
It's vulgar as hell and I've not read a book so obsessed with feet since that book I read that was all about non-metric systems of measuring height. And yet, underneath that vulgarity, there's philosophy.
What we have is an honest-to-goodness absurdist novel that actually understands and explores the philosophy of absurdism. It's like all my prayers have finally been answered only instead of getting money, health and a beautiful wife, I was given a short, weird novel about absurdist philosophy instead.
The only negative thing I have to say about this book is that it could have done with another round of copyediting and proofreading: There were more than a few typos, punctuation errors and grammatical mistakes although I do wonder in hindsight whether this was done deliberately to prove that the novel wasn't written by AI.
Anyway, The Craziest Book Ever Written is exactly what it says on the tin, but it's also one of The Best Books I've Ever Read.
4.9 stars - it loses 0.1 stars because of the aforementioned problems with typos and punctuation, which did occasionally take me out of the experience, but is still a damn good book, rounded up to five stars.

The Craziest Book Ever Written is quite a letdown. Firstly, it ain't that crazy, as an enjoyer of horror and the weird, this just came off as a sheltered persons view of crazy.
It felt like a rather boring idea of hedonism, granted this dude likes feet and might have some questionable views about women, but it comes across so edgelord and 'I'm 14 and this is deep'.
The dialogue was just plain dumb at times and felt like a kids idea of what is cool. The writing isn't incompetent, and the initial premise of the story is interesting, but the execution is really lacking.
Thankfully, I picked this up on Kindle Unlimited, so I didn't really pay for it, but for anyone intrigued, Dont bother!

What did I just read? The book indeed is insane, there is no question about it. It's about a suicidal writer who tries to kill himself with a gun. After it backfires, the writer wakes up and realizes that the characters from his books have come to life. It's where the show starts. There is a lot of graphic sex and violence which I disliked. However, I loved philosophy and the question this book induces us to ask.
Due to those facts I give it only 3 stars. If it had less depictions of sex the rating would be at least 4. I don't know what to tell you. If you like twisted than this book is a perfect pick for you. It resembles Twin Peaks in a way...

This is one very strange book. Definitely justifies the title it carries. It just didn't resonate with me. But then again, I don't like American Gods either. The same applies to Naked Lunch. But the reader who are into twisted literature are sure to love it.

Honestly, I see this book as a philosophical. It is insane and profoundly weird, no questions about it, but I think the novel, above all, speaks about God. It induces as to ask one very simple question: If we could, should we kill God?
Characters from the books coming to life after failed suicide attempt is a perfect metaphor. But let me tell you right away, there is some harsh violence and twisted erotica(maybe pornography) that is not for everyone. However, the book filters its readers on the first page so it won't be a problem to see if it's for you or not...

Indeed, the book is insane. A little bit too insane for my taste so one star had to fall down. Still, it was a crazy read. Maybe the Writer's Inferno would be a more suitable title. I would say this is a book that every writer should read.

A really crazy ride. A writer wants to kill himself but the gun backfires and the characters from all his manuscripts come to life to mock him, seduce him, kill him, help him...
