I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
What did I just read?
I fully expected a wild time and that is what I got. Max Booth III work is always on point with the off-kilter vibes and The Mind is a Razorblade is no exception.
We begin with the Kill Bill vibes - the amnesia in a first person perspective was well done.
I will say it was jarring to go back and forth between the now in story and Bobby's memories but I believe that was on purpose to help the reader feel a lil like him - disoriented and grasping for cornerstones to keep steady in what is going on.
All that said, this was bizarro fiction with heart. I started out fully expecting Bobby to fuck up and take the world with him but then began cheering for him as he found and fought for his family.
A good read for fans of Kill Bill, weird noir, and those that are looking for something to pull a rug out from under you.
