A heartwarming piece of romantic literature

Weird...But again Bizarro fiction makes a point of being weird.I find the lack of butt jokes disturbing.

Well this is a fun read.In my opinion, Ass Goblins is one of the most iconic works of bizarro fiction as it truly encapsulates everything the genre is. As offensive and downright disgusting as the surface of the story is, the social commentary as well as the vivid descriptions and imagery is a testament to Pierces genius.I admit I went in expecting a lot worse being new to the genre at the time, assuming it to be something along the lines of the old Nazi exploitation films, yet found it to be mo...

How is it I've overlooked this undoubtedly fine piece of literature for so long?!

Let me guess? The ass with eyestalks covered in Nazi symbols is totally turning you away from this book. Don't. Go ahead, read it. It's worth it."Ass Goblins of Auschwitz" certainly looks and sounds like something that was written to be offensive for the sake of offending. It is not very long, the cover makes no attempts to mute the meaning of the title. One might think it is screaming to be thrown on the pyre. But don't be so quick to judge. Cameron Pierce always, whether intentional or not, ha...

Cameron Pierce’s strength lies in his imagination. I personally think an animation company should sign him on to come up with ideas for cartoons, video games, and stuff like that because his work does lend itself to that sort of thing. The book itself is twisted, entertaining, and creative, three traits that I rarely find all in one book. This is the author’s second book and in many ways it’s better than the first. There is a focus present that wasn’t in the first. Pierce has an extremely strong...

oh dear lord

Despite the horrifically offensive title, this book isn't torture porn for Neo Nazis. It's an entry in a school of writing known as 'Bizarro' fiction, in which the authors attempt to lampoon, well, something, anything really, by being as strange and outrageously offensive as possible. Curiously, this has the effect of making the book inoffensive on any level beyond the most cursory of glances as you quickly become inured to the cartoonish extremes the writer takes things to and now and again mes...

I was sent this book by a friend who received it in error after ordering something else and who thought that I might be interested. They were right. I love reading weird and unusual stuff, and this definitely qualifies. It’s basically bizarro fiction about what happens when ass goblins launch a concentration camp and fill it with kids. It’s definitely not for those with a sensitive palette, but I thought that it set out to do something and then achieved it. Fun stuff.

I have to say this before getting into this review.. I love reading bizarro books and like how they are totally different with the characters and the world's in the books but, this book actually made me really uncomfortable while reading it. Since the book was focused on kids and rape, it's just not a concept I want to be reading about...

I am dreading the next book club meeting. We'll be discussing This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War and preparing to read The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary. John will be reading some high brow's autobiography and Fred just can't wait for James Lee Burke's new book. Michelle will be pining for another novel by Christopher Moore. Then they'll turn to me and say, "Marvin, what did you read this week?" And...

I really wanted this to be awesome. I'm a big fan of weird. I'm a big fan of gross. I'm also a big fan of writing, and that's where the book lost me. I don't mind being made sick to my stomach, and if a book can make me actually clench my sphincter, so much the better, but I CANNOT abide poor writing. It's not even really terrible grammar or spelling, just the odd continuity error and sentences that, when you think about it, don't actually have any meaning. For example: "Today seems worse, proba...

Josef Mengele and Sigmund Freud had a baby and Cameron Pierce shit on it.This book is probably the most disgusting thing I've ever read and I could not put it down.

This reminds me of The Poop That Took a Pee from that episode of South Park. It's just shocking for the sake of being shocking. I'm not that well versed with bizarro fiction. This is only the second or third piece I've read from that genre. It was a readable story but I think I'm more of a Carlton Mellick III guy.

A blast to read. Read in a few hours. Bought another of his books to see if the greatness goes between titles

In the first four pages of Cameron Pierce's A*s Goblins of Auschwitz, a row of child slaves are molested, one by one, by a giant a*s-shaped N*zi Goblin. But by the time the main character pulls a bicycle made of other children out of his scrotum, this will not seem shocking. A*s Goblins of Auschwitz was a difficult book to read. It's been 80 years or so, but I think we can all say that the Holocaust still isn't funny. A*s Goblins could see a lot of heat from "Serious Literary People" for making

It was pointed out to me that my previous review did not include the fact that I recommend the book. So here is a new review.I was dared to read Ass Goblins of Auschwitz by friends. Unable to turn down this dare, I immediately got the e-book and started reading it. This was my introduction to the Bizarro genre, and it was eye-opening. As a WWII history fan, the incorporation of Nazi imagery appealed to me greatly; the incorporation of ass goblins appealed considerably less. But the first half of...

whoah. Look, I've read a lot of bizarro, but this book is the weirdest, most insane thing I have ever read. Ever.

If you've noticed a recent trend in my reviews, I've been reading a lot of what gets classified as “bizarro fiction.” I remember when I first heard about it, about a year ago, and I pictured stories that would be weird, off-the-wall, and probably containing concepts or imagery that would be purely for shock value. What I had read so far was okay in these regards, but I was more surprised at the way these authors had chosen not to push these boundaries as hard as I expected.Then I read Ass Goblin...

Growing up, I watched a lot of TV. Nickelodeon, mostly. Ah! Real Monsters, Rocko’s Modern Life, Ren & Stimpy. They were light-hearted and funny, sure, but deep-down they were kind of unsettling, and with your eyes glued to the tube, you felt like you were given a glimpse into truly twisted minds, minds that were trying their very best to warn their audience of the darkness of adulthood to come. These cartoons with their drab colors and their focus on offal and snot and lint and gas were just too...
