I can't finish it. I made it less then half way through, and I've decided not to finish. I normally don't read Comedy types of books, but since a friend at work bought this as basically a joke for my birthday I thought I would give it a try. I regret even starting this book.

This is the most bizarro book I've ever the (dis)pleasure of reading. I read it because I wanted to try this genre but it was just not good to my liking. Of course this book will appeal to others but to me it didn't.

The plot is quite weird (what?) we’re introduced to Prisoners 999 and 1001, conjoined twins attached at the ribcage. They are prisoners in Auschwitz which is run by race of aliens called Ass Goblins. These aliens abduct children from the neighboring planet of Kidland and throw them in Auschwitz in order to build bicycles and sex dolls out of other dead children. They receive a sadistic treatment by the ass goblins and at the same time avoid being chosen or else they will be turn to hard cider to the Ass Goblins to drink. The rest is for the other "children" to eat it. There are rectum fingering, a toilet toads that stick their long tongues up the asses of prisoners kids, cockrats, ass dolls and also experiments alike the nazi ones. The snow outside is made of "swastikas". The book resolves about the escape of the join twins and a couple of other children

Quite a weird one. Puke-tastic and bizarre enough to have earned the #1 spot in Bizarro Central's top book list.

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.

OMG! WTF! ASS GOBLINS OF AUSCHWITZ by Cameron Pierce FTW. What the HELL what that? I though I had read Bizarro before until I read Pierce. ASS GOBLINS could easily define the genre. Part fairy tale, part fable and all whacked out this story pushes the limits of imagination. The story is a tour de force of mind bending,oddball, off beat and down right pondeorus adventure.

Its a story of oppressive monsters (who happen to be shaped like giant grotesque buttocks with a flair for Nazi swag) who take away the lives of children as redemption for their own lost youths. Not even the children escape the bizarro treatment in this story. There are giant apples, toilet toads, wall of chocolate cake and bicycles made from parts of discarded children. And that just scratches the surface.

The all the strange being thrown at you from every angle underlies some very real perspectives on life and politics. This is at its heart a fable and a fairy tale. It not hard to replace some of the harsher images presented and superimpose unicorns and princes. In the end you find that Cameron Pierce is not only oddly brilliant but also human. Like the rest of us.

If it's Bizarro you want, read ASS GOBLINS and it's Bizarro you will get. No book has yet to stand as a pillar of the genre near as much as this one does.

I admit I got this simply because of the title and I was not disappointed. I thought Ass Goblins Of Auschwitz was hilarious and the most satisfying sort of twisted. I really enjoyed it. So much so, in fact, that I read it straight through in a single sitting (which perhaps isn't the greatest feat for some but I'm not the fastest reader).
I'm giving it 3 stars instead of more because while most of it was coherent I felt some things were shoved in simply for the sake of shoving them. The bit about Kidland, for instance, I felt could have been left out completely without taking away from the rest of the story.
That said, Nazi ass goblins kidnapping, enslaving, mutating and feeding on children? Yes, please. It starts off somewhat slow but graphic and then gets pretty "actiony". The epic battle between the ass goblins and children was awesome. Mostly, I wish moist, cakey undergrounds existed. This would please me a great deal.

If this book truly is reminiscent of Monty Python, then I was watching the wrong episodes, because holy geez ... nothing in this book could be played on television ... even Troma would hesitate before making this into a movie. It's that bad.

Course, that being said, it's bizarro and a good example of it. There's really nothing else to say about it. It's the perfect book of the most horrific images ever, and maybe the most horrific part is how normal it all seems.

Entertaining read.
