Enjoy Rico Slade Will F*cking Kill You Engineered By Bradley N. Sands In PDF

I read more of the bizarro genre, I've come to the conclusion that its books can be generally divided into one of two camps: "weird" bizarro and "funny" bizarro.
"Weird" Bizarro focuses on shocking and often disgusting the reader with impossible situations involving demons and vaginas and gore see: everything Carlton Mellick III has ever written, while "funny" bizarros are in essence pitchblack comedies, taking a situation that could never occur in mainstream literature and pulling it to its snapping point see: Mykle Hansen's sublime "Help! A Bear is Eating Me!"

I've realized that I greatly prefer the second type to the first.


Which is good, because Rico Slade Will Fucking Kill You crashes directly into the second camp with a tremendous bloody explosion and doesn't stop.
Rico Slade will ruin your life, Rico Slade will crash a car into your house and beat you to death with one of his many awards, Everything from his focusgroup approved catchphrases to his inability to restrain himself from doing violence to anyone who crosses his path makes Rico Slade a pitchperfect satire of overthetop action films.
It's everything warmedover crap like The Expendables wishes it could be, It's like a Chuck Norris joke, but with the balls to actually be shocking and funny,

What makes Rico Slade really interesting is the "through the looking glass" approach Sands takes with his character, You see, Rico Slade doesn't actually exist: he's a character in a film, portrayed by middleaged balding washedup secretly gay actor Chip Johnson, When Chip has a nervous breakdown on set, he has a psychotic break and becomes convinced that he is Slade, and that Hollywood is the set of his latest noholdsbarred, Rrated thriller.
There's lots and lots one might almost say too many books that function as a malepower fantasy, and there's a small number of books that are takedowns of the malepower fantasy, but it's rare to have a book that celebrates a macho action beatdown even as it pokes fun at it.
Chip Johnson is the Jekyll to Rico Slade's Hyde, descending at the drop of a hat into his kickass actionfilm persona, but the book does a funny thing: it constantly oscillate's between what's going on in Chip's head and what passerby actually see.
It never really lets us forget how big of a monster Rico Slade would be if he existed in real life, It's this disconnect that powers most of the comedy in Rico Slade, and it feels just right for the Rico Slade Will Fcking Kill You's bizarro novel runtime, Too much longer and it might've gotten stale, but Rico Slade gets out

every crazy scenario it wants inpages and ends before it can wear out its welcome.
Anyone who likes bizarro novels or wants to revel in ridiculous action film cliches will have a blast, Where do I even begin It's by far one of the most insanely bizarre and ridiculous books I have ever read and I loved every bit of it! I didn't think a book could so be all over the place and yet still have a solid concept and plot but guess what this book is just that.
My thoughts on this book I don't know, I can't definitively find words to describe what I think of this book, It's good of course but how do you find a word to explain a book so off the wall, so ridiculous and so silly yet so beautifully constructed at the same time Badass, for the sake of needing a word let's go with badass.
The title and cover alone tell you something awesome is within the pages but it truly isn't until you read it for yourself that you find yourself completely stunned and at a loss but your so into the story that you keep reading and turning page after page.
Rico Slade Will Fucking Kill You is a book that takes you on a journey that you would never in your wildest dreams consider yourself going on but you just strap yourself in and ride it.
. ride it for all its worth,

Right off the bat we get a dose of the main character, Rico Slade, We are reminded and told exactly who Rico Slade is and what he does and doesn't like because Rico Slade is mentionedtimes on the first page alone.
We find out that Rico Slade is actually a character played by Chip Johnson but since I don't do spoilers and you need to read this to understand the rest I'll leave it at that.
Have you ever wrote a book and wondered how many pages chapters should be Well author Bradley Sands never considered this thought for this book, Almost every chapter is either one or two pages long, something I've really never come across with any other book ever, brilliant, There are some chapters that only have a few words with Chapterbeing my favorite as there is only one word on the page aside from the title that word being "shit.
" That's it, the only word on Chapteris the word "shit", Then there's another chapter where the only words are "What the crap", The author told you something about the story simply by using a off the wall title of the chapter folllowed by a few words or in some cases one word.
With a character like Rico Slade prancing around the pages like a douchey badass it's no wonder the pages are so short, because that's how Rico Slade rolls, that how it needs to be.


I found myself glued to some of the scenes in this book and completely grossed out or and at a loss for words so I just carried on and read the next.
As you read, well at least I felt this way but as you read the book at times I found myself rooting for Rico Slade and other times my head screamed, "For the love of god SOMEONE STOP THIS MANIAC!!" Also this is a book where if you think you know what's gonna happen next, lmao! Your wrong, not only do you not know what's going to happen next but your probably way off.
Example: Why did the chicken cross the road Think it's to get to the other side No, in this book a chicken would cross the road because Pluto is no longer a planet and Captain Kirk needs to make pancakes to appease the God of Awesomeness.
As bizarre as the book was I can't compliment the author enough for actually containing an actual plot with different characters with their own very unique personalities.
If you can still follow the book while all the nonsense and foolery is going on then I tip my imaginary sailor's cap off to you.


This book reminded me of Fight Club at times because of Rico Slade and some of the scenes of total anarchy that made me think of Project Mayhem.
. . oddly enough Rico Slade's villain's name is Baron Mayhem, Oh I'm sorry you think that's a random connection Well after you read this book you can make all the random connections you want too, Sorry. . the book makes you a bit bold and makes you speak out of turn, But overall this book was an absolute blast to read, From it's off the wall comedy to it's action and adventure dipped in tabasco sauce, If you want to laugh your ass off, scratch your head and keep being entertained this then book is a must read for you, I have a feeling many of author Bradley Sands books are just like this and if that's the case then I'm definitely checking out more of his work.


Bradley Sands is the greatest master of the art of booklength readertrolling there is, Maybe. Bradley Sands is also a genius, a master of compelling, compulsively readable bizarrofiction, Maybe. After reading Rico Slade Will Fucking Kill You I'm not entirely certain which of these two statements is true, but I do know that this is an hilarious hollywoodsatirising express train of a story, and it's damned entertaining.


Rico Slade is a Hollywood action hero, a macho, throatripping, unstoppable and slightly homoerotic Arnie type, The actor that plays him is balding, has a lot of issues and leads a life that is largely a lie, He's no hero in any sense, until his sanity cracks and his Rico Slade persona takes over, sending him on a weird, gross and LOLworthy rampage through L.
A in search of his onscreen nemesis, Baron Mayhem,

This isnt a perfect story, Its pacy, but all over the place, Its compelling, but full of random weird bits that sometimes dont quite compute, I couldnt entirely shake the feeling that the entire book is some sort of extended prank on the reader, None of this really matters though Rico Slade Will Fucking Kill You is a wild, kinetic ride and pure fun to read, At ninetynine pages, you could knock this book off in a single session, and its well worth doing so,

The ending comes up pretty quickly, and was a little unsatisfying until I considered it within the context of the whole story, Like the rest of Sands book, the more I think about it, the more Im convinced that Rico Slade is actually light on the trolling, and rich with bizarre, memorable genius.

Oh, Bradley Sands why the truck stop incident!

Okay, it would be easy to focus on RICO SLADE said in a deep, booming voice, but I found Chip Johnson to be the more interesting character.
Watching Chip's mental deterioration was heartbreaking to me, even as I laughed at the rest of the book,

This is another one of those books that I don't want to say too much about for fear of ruining it for those who haven't read it yet.
I can't imagine anyone reading this and not enjoying some aspect of it, It can certainly be read for the humour alone, but there's so much more to the story than that, Definitely recommend. "Wait, what the hell just happened" was my initial response when I completed this, It was a blur of highstakes wackiness, and by the time I might have grown tired of the broad humor which occasionally strayed into lazy Hollywood stereotypes, it was already over.


But oddly I have fond feelings about it despite the dialogue that sometimes felt clunky, and not always in an ironically bad sort of way.


The title and the summary promised me hilarious, highstakes cheesiness, and I was a trifle disappointed that it only really exists inside Chip's head.
A villain whose bomb destroys people but leaves their money intact was funny enough to justify my purchase, I just wanted more of that,

Several things inform me that this may be considered Bizarro, My actual reading only leaned towards that in one regard, There's no real straight man in bizarro writing it seems, and to me that runs counter to a lot of effective comedy, When there's no element of normality to bounce all the madness off of, it loses a lot of its weight, and it just becomes a series of wacky, at times nonsensical things.


Absurdity is far more clever played against the mundane,

But I still smile when I think about the book, so that has to count for something, right,
