My name is Harvey and I’m writing a manuscript.
However, I’m not a writer. So, this is probably going to be a piece of shit.
I have no idea how to put together a story. All the elements that you find in a good book won’t be in here. Instead, I will regale you with outrageous capers spanning over the past two decades. Many of them are chock-a-block with violence and bastards.
There are always bastards.
Note: Harvey’s Manuscript contains some graphic sexual content, graphic violence, and harsh language.

(Review written with three chapters up, subject to change).
After a foreword that is a slight extension of the above blurb, you are dropped straight into the action. Well, more like smacked in the face by it.
There’s no introduction to the world or character – we have no idea why this poor bastard is getting the proverbial snot beaten out of him. That, in itself, makes it difficult to root for our protagonist – not knowing if he deserves this punishment or not.
Then, after a protracted fight scene where very little is revealed – aside from a few seemingly innocuous statements (such as a very strange reference to Jesus) – the chapter, and that particular story ends, and another begins.
It’s a solid first-person perspective, but the dissociative nature of the work makes it hard to stay interested.

I have to say that this serial has oddly hooked me in. It is not one of my favorites, but it is an entertaining read.
