Zen and the Art of Dying Kindle Edition

From the author of Katie McGuire, Vampire:

Kenny has two problems. First, he’s a Reset, which means that whenever someone murders him, he wakes up on the morning of his dying day to start all over again. Which might sound like a pretty awesome superpower, but it’s actually super sucky because he’ll eventually die of cancer or old age, after which point he'll just keep reliving his agonizing dying day forever.

His second problem is people keep murdering him.

So he teams up with another Reset and they storm the lab where it all began in an effort to undo this unordinary death disorder. They keep dying, they keep trying, and then they keep resetting and relaunching their attack until they almost succeed. But then the girl Kenny fell in love with gets kidnapped, and then his partner gets kidnapped, and then pretty much everyone else gets kidnapped, leaving Kenny all alone with his thoughts and a nagging question that just won’t die: what’s left to save when everyone and everything you know is gone?

Jared Wynn spent his formative years in Latin America, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East as an expat and diplomatic dependent. After what felt like several lifetimes overseas, he returned to America to pursue a higher education while bouncing around between odd jobs. To date, he’s been a cook, a bouncer, a geophysical technician, a hypnotherapist, a screenwriter, a Jujitsu instructor, and a standup comic, all of which he thinks make him a better writer but which probably just make him eccentric. He currently resides in Southern California with his wife and three stepkids.

Nicely done

This is actually pretty original, in that the content is nicely new and although you could argue that there is an element of groundhog day and various other re-peat type stories out there, this one stands alone
The book is well written and grammatically it's ok but I did see a few mistakes and the editing is not great. That said it didn't really detract me from what was a great story, characters and plot.
I do think however that the cover is a little misleading, it struck me as a sort of self-help type book as it's not very descriptive but it does play well when you know what the story is about etc.
I'm not sure how I stand on whether or not Id buy into more books like this though, it's not that it's bad but perhaps not to my taste. Some will like it and it certainly entertained me.

Pete or Re-Pete?

For starters, I really like the cover. That detail on the skull blueberries is a nice touch. The summary caught my attention, but I distinctly remember a fairy tale about a man in a similar situation. This reads very differently. Overall, I think the book would have benefited from another editing pass (an easy example is the weirdly long sentence that begins chapter two). Also, the author’s voice can be a bit different, depending on what you’re used to. However, it’s not too distracting. The book still has a solid premise, a great hook near the beginning (I’d say around pg 14), some odd but fun humor, and interesting characters. If the above summary interests you, then I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. I’ll admit that I thought the meditation part with Meatball towards the end was a little odd, but not unwarranted. (Fair warning: sensitive readers will want to skip this one. There are casual mentions / occurrences of some material you might not be comfortable with.)

Action-packed & Philosophical

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2022

Verified Purchase

It seems like a contradiction in terms, but for a book with almost cartoonish levels of intrigue and violence, Zen and the Art of Dying manages to also have plenty of food for thought.

Kenny is great, too, as are many of the supporting cast (though I might have appreciated a few more women).

Though a couple questions remained for me at the end (sequel potential, maybe?), on the whole, I found the conclusion quite satisfying.

If you like sci fi, specilation into time travel, or just a really good read, I recommend this book.

I couldn't put this one down for the most part. It bogged down in places, eventually, with a little too much scientific explanation -for me - some would probably love it. The writing was fun and had me reading sentences twice, just because the wording was so good, then in other places, I had to re-read a sentence to try and make sense of what it was trying to say, realizing it must just be a wrong word that was used. I recommend it.

The storyline is fantastic.

I was intrigued by the description; I'd never read a story about a person who returns after being killed.
This novel appeals to me because of its unusual plot, well-developed characters, and premise—a lot of uniqueness, especially because it's about the disease of the day, depression.
This is a hilarious moment from the narrative :
"Tell me, do you remember how many times we conducted the memory test with you? Kenny: You mean how many times your employees killed me?."
And the narrative proceeded at a breakneck pace. If you're searching for a fantastic book that will take you on a journey, this one is a must-read!

Captivating and adventurous read

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2021

The plot moved quickly, and it was a page-turner. A guy agrees to take part in depression research, but instead of getting a new perspective on life, he is turned into something else. It really was a fantastic story. The narrative and characters were both well-developed. You will not be disappointed when reading this. The book also explores pacifism philosophically, it also shows ideas regarding the boundary between our reality and quantum physics. If you're searching for a book that's worth reading and will take you on a journey, I strongly suggest this one!

Very unusual story.

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2021

thought that Zen and the Art of Dying was an excellent book. Haven't read a story as unusual as this in quite a while. Jared leaves you wondering what might really be real and what isn't. If you enjoy reading books that not the norm, recommend reading this one.

The quality of this book impressed me. It kind of reminded me of a cross between the book breakfast with Buddha and groundhogs day.

I actually find it pretty hard to believe it was self published because it was so well done. Even the cover just screams heavily professional. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and was surprised by its professionalism. Highly recommended.
