Does John Die at the End?

A few things before I begin...
I knew absolutely nothing about John Dies at the End (aside from the title that is) before putting it on hold at the library.
It was a recommended read on a list of books to read around Halloween.
I wasn't quite sure what to expect from the novel, thus had no expectations beforehand.
It turns out that a movie version is hitting theaters this January, so I am naturally curious to see how the adaptation pans out (Paul Giamatti stars as Arnie in the film, hence the picture of Paul)
 

What did you say?  You want a short description of John Dies at the End?  Well, it’s a drug that promises an out-of-body experience with each hit. On the street they call it Soy Sauce, and users can drift across time and dimensions. But some who come back are no longer human.
Suddenly a silent, otherworldly invasion is underway, and mankind needs a hero. What it gets instead is John and David, a pair of college dropouts who can barely hold down jobs.
Can these two stop the oncoming horror in time to save humanity?
No. No, they can’t.

What's in a name?  Mr. Wong understands the importance of a title, and the impact that the title can have on the book, and it's interpretation among readers.  Titles, more often than not, have a direct reference to another work of literature or a pivotal point in the plot of their novel.  They can be taken seriously, or as a joke.  They can encapsulate the underlying meaning of the story.  Most importantly, titles have the ability to entrance a reader within a matter of seconds.  If the title does not catch the reader's eye, the book simply will not be read.  John Dies at the End, as a title, could be received in a variety of manners.  Does John actually die at the end?  Well, that is for you to find out.  Either way, the quirky title was the primary reason that I choose to read this book.
