As of today, Secret Fire Books, LLC will be severing all ties with Mr. PulpMortem. Not because of his racist jokes, but because of his calous disregard for dead squirrels.
@@GrammaticusBooks oh it was brutal. There's a good 16% that I still have no idea which scene I was in. If I had to guess Snyder's career, maybe something in screenwriting? Because the jump cuts were like a hack trying to emulate Edgar Write's transition and montage style.... For an entire book
Oh man, your intro's just keeping getting funnier and funnier. Also, you're actually a pretty good actor. "clearly not his fault." hahah you're ridiculous.
The intro. The Neil Breen. That sexy guy at the end. I can't compete with content like this. Also, I have Cycle of Nemesis! I feel like i should try to read that before you post your review...
I really wish you guys would start keeping a list of gonzo bonkers novels. I’m looking for the prose equivalent of the movie Eliminators - ninjas, jungle adventures, time travel, Roman soldiers, Mandroid, Denise Crosby - but in book form.
@@StormReads haha the beginning was fun, especially the cluster of homeless folks that were watching the entire Press Release and laughing! I'd feel bad about offending people, but the people who get upset over a joke are already upset about something else :)
its a fun intro, i liked the joke. i just have a feeling for the future Seeing the way your new government is starting 2025 makes me feel like this kind of joke will age Like (hoping its not going to be but it feels like) Berlin wall germany / post berlin wall germany
Quoting Neil Breen has elevated your work to the next level(?) Testament XXI sounds like a fine premise that was much better done but much better writers. Leave this one in the thrift store bin and read 'A Canticle for Leibowitz' or 'Book of the New Sun' or...anything else. Thanks for the warning, Jake. You suffer so we don't have to.
Great review. It sounds like a new author who has promise but was trying too hard. Jumping around in the narrative to the point it becomes very confusing makes it seem almost as if he was attempting stream of consciousness, like James Joyce's Finnegans Wake or Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse. It was a little pretentious of Guy Snyder to write as if he was already a literary genius, and a little unfair to his readership who was probably expecting simple entertainment with a bit of a twist. Not a genius work they have to slog through and in interpret like some poor undergrad trying to pass an English literature exam!
Pretentiousness is the pitfall that any writer can stumble into. POV hoping is difficult even for great writers. To include animal POVs is ... a choice. Great review. The joke that led to your opening was to sophomoric to post in the first place. It annoyed me but i won't unsubscribe over it.

@@secretfirebooks7894 *monotone voice:
"Oh no please don't go oh no"
Not just me then, struck by the cruelty of mocking an innocent squirrels grief...
@OmnivorousReader nah, I have it on good authority that the squirrel was a racist.
Great review, Jake. Funny intro and the review itself was so well thought out that I’ll know to save myself the trouble with this book.
Different scenes at the same time?!?....shoot me now. Great entertaining review as always Jake!

I think you’re review of this book is all I need of this book. Thanks!
😆😆😂🤣🤣
The intro alone is worth an emphatic sub.
This book sounds bonkers. 😆
Haha bonkers it was. Cheers!
I know what that is in the corner at 16:30.
It's a four day weekend.
That intro was fantastic 😂.
Great review and I will just trust your judgement and find something else to read.
Who hurt you?
(Was it me?)
A great review of a book that sounds interesting and you saved me the trouble.
That intro, pure cinema. You're the next Herk Harvey.
@@TOLW_LeviWallace out of everything on my bingo card for today, I never expected to check off Herk Harvey. BINGO!!
@@PulpMortem One step closer to the grand prize: $100, a weekend in Reno, and all the colored peppers a man can eat.
@TOLW_LeviWallace not gonna lie, I treated myself to some colored peppers for dinner tonight...
Fab video! :)
@@mattrenyard Fab is what I aim for. Cheers!

@PulpMortem yeah. That's it.
😂 We love you, Jake!

lol, great review. I think I might skip this one, even if I find it in the wild super cheap. Even though that cover is pretty good!

I agree, I feel like I would have loved Snyder's 4th book
