ETD’s Reviews > Violence: A Writer's Guide > Status Update

This book is such a baffling combination of some of the worst bullshit I’ve ever seen and some of the truest things it hurts to have said to my face. There is very little in between. I have no idea who this is for, because it is not writers with no context. Not having context will not make his explanations of violence make any more sense, but god fucking damn, if you have the context it hits somewhere deep

Okay the gender differences chapter was one of the worst things I’ve ever read

ANOTHER ONE?????? Two (2) snuff films linked in the first 20% of this book (both links broken but still). B r u h

Oh okay credit where credit is due, we have very quickly hit defining the difference between fighting and violence and that’s important to me in any discussion of either subject

“The following hyperlink leads to a video can be hard to watch. It is a Russian video of a crack addict attacking a fifteen year-old girl for her purse. She died after some time in a coma:”
WHAT
WHY WOULD YOU ACTUALLY LINK THAT IN YOUR BOOK DUDE THATS I N S A N E

Okay this guy might be a nut job and a little delusional about the current state of the world, this is going to be Fucking Fascinating to read alongside Never Split the Difference (which is fantastic btw hard recommend for literally everyone)

Alright we gotta do percentages with this bad boy too because the bootleg I got from a fellow author doesn’t have page numbers that track At All with any edition lol
