The novel of the film of the comic of the same name

O god, it burns!

If you dare, pull up Inside This Book. Or don't, you'll be better off; its morass of swirling, turgid prose itself bedecked, with dependant clauses, which were recursive, bombastic, riddled with complexities themselves fraught with abecedarian faux pas so redolent with fault that the benighted, wayward, reader, overcome with revulsion, might find itself hastily perplexed, were abominable.

It feels very Bulwer-Lytton (sp?) to me. Which is to say it will probably do well...

Though, to be fair, it's a tough gig novel-izing a comic that was created by people who are explicitly interested in the ways that comics are different from other art forms. I think they could have actually found a writer that spoke English, but I'm not sure they were ever going to get anything good.
