 Hello everybody, E here. Welcome back to another book review. Today we are talking about Broad Street Bastard by Chad Lutzky. Let me get my fingers out of the way. Just upfront right off the bat, me and Chad are really good friends. In fact, we are currently collaborating on a book together called Planet Caravan. We've been doing a live stream. We are off this week, but next week we'll be jumping right back into it. And you guys will have 31 days of Halloween on top of the daily streams with Chad. We are off Wednesdays and Sundays. And also, if you care about video games at all, I'm over on Twitch. I start every day about 3 o'clock and go to about 6 or 7. If you're interested in games, also I'll be streaming some games for 31 days of Halloween, only horror content. And it'll be game short enough to where you can view the entire game in one sitting. Games like Blood Wash, maybe a Resident Evil 4, Speed Run, that kind of thing. But anyways, so that's what we'll be doing every Saturday. Every Sunday, we'll be Sunday Cinema where we'll be watching a movie together. I will not be showing the movie, but I will be commenting on the movie as it's playing out. But anyways, let's get into the review. I have given Chad less than favorable reviews in the past. I think I didn't overly fanboy for Cannibal Creator or the Neon Owl. They're both good books. They're just not what I was not really expecting, but what I expect out of Chad. So I say that upfront, because when I do come across something that I think is exceptional, I want you guys to know that these are my real unbiased feelings about this author and his work. Broad Street Bastard is now one of my favorites up there with Slowburn on Riverside, up there with Skullface Boy, up there with Wallflower. This one, this one's really good. I'd also need to tell you that this is, he's been writing these books in reverse. So every subsequent book in the series with Jaxx, J-E-X as the main character takes place before the book that came out before it. It's a little bit odd, but I find it cool as shit and it's really cool to keep going back in time and finding out where Jaxx came from and everything that he's been through. This one and the best way that I can describe this book is it's horny as fuck. Don't get it wrong. This is definitely a book with a lot of sexual content. Most of it is there for comedic value. I thought one scene in particular with a try not to do any spoilers here. In fact, I had to re-shoot this video because I gave a minor spoiler about the book in the original one, but the scene with the wet couch had me in tears. I was laughing so hard about it. Now I thought one thing happened and Chad didn't mean for that thing to be read into it, but it's funny that either way the scene works, whether you read too much into it or whether you don't and just accept it for what's on the page, I thought it was absolutely brilliant even if it wasn't intentional. I love art that does that, where people can find their own humor, their own action, their own drama and everything in the subtext. I love stuff like that. There is another element of this book that I want to talk about, but Chad has been completely quiet about it. He didn't say anything to me. It's definitely not in the description. There is not really a twist, but there's more to this story than he would actually lead you to believe at the beginning. And the reason why I say that is it says something along these lines in somewhere in the book. Okay, let's see here. One more thing, we've forgotten that sometimes stories are just about the journey. This is one of those stories. There is more to the plot than just the journey. Let me just say that. I loved every minute of this book. Chad is not someone in my mind that can do no wrong. There have been things that I have criticized in the past, but this one is fucking perfect. I don't know how else to put it. I'm very impressed with this book. I had a lot of fun. It took me a long time to read it, not because it was bad, but because I literally could not find the time to read. I've been doing the 31 days of Halloween, trying to build up the Twitch channel. By the way, thank you for all your support over there. I've reached affiliate, so now it's all downhill from there. And the whole reason I made the Twitch thing was just because I've always wanted to play games. I've always wanted to be a streamer, but at the same time, it's a new revenue source for me. So I'm trying to branch off, diversify my bonds as it were, and try to be somewhere everywhere while also staying off of social media. It's been a journey, but I appreciate everybody supporting me. I'm looking forward to 31 days of Halloween. We will be starting on Sunday, and on Sunday, we will be watching a movie I have not yet picked. But it will be a horror movie, of course, probably something Halloween themed. I hope to see you guys there. It starts at 5pm Central Standard Time. Yeah, that's all the time I have for you today. Definitely go out. There's a link down there in the doobly-doo to the book. Go out and pick this one up, read it, enjoy it, and grab everything else in the series, and everything else the chat is written, because even the stuff that isn't fantastic is still a really damn good read. But until next time, I have been E, you have been U. This has been another book review, I'll talk to you guys later. Bye bye!
