3.0 out of 5 stars
Brilliantly over the top with shock and disgust, but really not that well written for all that,
By Michael A. Duvernois (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Motherfuckers: The Auschwitz Of Oz (Hardcover)
I was surprised that there weren't a host of one and five star reviews for this book. The Auschwitz of Oz (just think of the conceit of the title!) has been championed by Michael Moorcock, and the book has been tangled in British legal action via the Obscene Publications Act.
And you start to read it! Unrelenting high-energy nastiness. Rock and roll. The Holocaust. Murder for laughs. Cosmetic surgery. Venereal disease. But it really isn't all that well-written. Maybe it's William S. Burroughs without skill? Some of the attitude, plus you have to do more to shock today, but none of the style or ability. So, this is the three star rating. Totally over-the-top thrill-kill cool in theory, but just not that good in practice.

Sucker for profanity,

This review is from: Motherfuckers: The Auschwitz Of Oz (Hardcover)
This book is as inane as its title suggests. Even an avid reader like myself could not get through the first fifty pages. I passed it on to several other strong readers and no one got any further than I did. It's a funny conversation piece, but a waste of good shelf space. Now it sits on the floor of an unused closet.
