The Switched edition by Ryan Bracha Gareth Halliday Literature Fiction eBooks

It takes a certain sort of twisted genius to conceive a story like The Switched. Without a doubt Ryan Bracha is definitely the man for that task. This book is undoubtedly his most brilliant creation to date. As a fan of his previous works, I am stoked to see Bracha continuing to hone his craft by leaps and bounds. Employing his usual arsenal of morally flawed characters in inherently awkward situations, Bracha manages to up the game once again by navigating his talent into uncharted territory.
For example, there is the budding romance between two men... er, rather a man and a woman trapped in a man's body. There is humility in the face of adversity and angst under the omnipresent glare of the public spotlight. Redemption goes hand in hand with primal fear. In each player lurks a quality of blackness that resides only in the hearts of the desperate or those condemned. Bracha braves this logistical nightmare of managing this handful of otherwise unconnected souls and orchestrates them beautifully into a flowing, unforgettable masterpiece.

The Switched edition by Ryan Bracha Gareth Halliday Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

I really did love this book. I had never read anything by this author and I found his writing very interesting. Many, many times I laughed out loud at some of the situations the characters found themselves in. I am still laughing! If you like weird stories and dark humor than buy this book.
Reading the blurb you may be expecting a festering cauldron of perversion, obscenity, bodily fluids and every deviantly murderous coupling conceivable…Well, okay, welcome to the 'The Switched'. But there's a lot more going on here than that. While other writers try to out f*ck each other, they lack Bracha's creativity, imagination and intelligence. A good example is the jumping from third to first person, allowing the reader to really get inside the heads of the characters, hear their rage, fear, hopes and feel their pain, raising them above the two dimensional cartoons they may have become at the hands of a less skilled writer. I don’t want to give details of the wonderfully inventive plot away, I'd rather you discover them for yourselves, but it does contain an interesting spin on the phrase go f*ck yourself.
It's been said by others that he's a writer at the top of his game. I've read most of his work and have to agree that this is, in my opinion, his best so far. If you haven't read any of Brachas' work, start here and work back. A magnificent achievement.
Alternate universes collide in a tight and muscular narrative that mixes genres and realities. Excellent read.
I wouldn't want to be Bracha. Not for anything. I feel sorry for him in the most profound way.
It's not the vacant expression sketched permanently on his face that elicits my sympathy for him. Nor the sagging, sweat-stained moob impression on his sad oasis-esque polo shirt.

It's not even the resigned way he carries himself, like only the most wretched stain of a man who's accepted his slide into deep ugliness can affect.
Not even the rancid, gamey oily pungent Stench of his grimy Breath elicits my Pity. None of those are a patch on Bracha’s one true inescapable obstacle.
The sad fact is that Bracha has written his finest novel to date and will most likely never scratch at those heights again let alone improve on it.

That's what I'm telling myself at any rate, but the truth is that Bracha will do what he always does and go on developing his skills and pushing himself further from any comfort zone he could slip into.
Ryan Bracha is that sort of cheeky wide-o who asks for a blowy straight after he's been knocked back for a tit squeeze. He has no shame and no sense of limitations.

Unwilling to restrain himself to a single comfortable genre or writing style, Bracha has shoved all desire to settle into a formulaic groove aside and elevated his writing one more time. In The Switched, Bracha 'switches' effortlessly but never gratuitously between first and third person and present and past tense, as the story demands.

Many writers would struggle to maintain consistency with such changes, or overuse the mechanism, Ryan effortlessly (it’s not but it reads like it is) employs the shifting narrative and perspective to add urgency, humour and purpose to each scene.

Taking all the creativeness of Strangers are Just Friends You Haven't Killed Yet and follow-up Tomorrow's Chip Paper, Bracha throws in a hefty helping of technical skill- earned by hundreds of hours writing The Dead Man Series- to temper his surging imagination and desire to put his characters through the wringer for your entertainment.

What we have in The Switched is the perfect blend of creative flair with technical skill from a writer who is at the peak of his powers...so far.

The biggest development, for me, in Ryan's writing with The Switched is that Relationships are now front and centre and the driving force for the novel. Where in previous books, the story was the driving force for his characters, in The Switched, Bracha’s characters drive the story. The characterisation and development is exceptionally good in this novel.

That the sweetest, most compelling and real relationship in the book is between two men, one of whom is a woman inhabiting her partner's former body, is a testament to the author's new-found ability to expose the tender weakness of the true individual rather than the shell of the person.

Reading The Switched holds all the manky, unsettling, thrilling insidiousness of playing a game of 'just the tip' and leaves the reader wondering just how much more Ryan Bracha is still capable of.
Ryan Bracha is the only author I know that could pull this off. It's weird, crass, crude, offensive and many other heinous adjectives, featuring a host of thoroughly unlikable characters, and yet I was engaged throughout, finishing it in just a few sittings. It's a testament to Bracha's skills as a writer and a story-teller to accomplish that. I liked that he used the names of other Indie authors for minor characters; a nice touch. Not for the easily offended or prudish.
