The Doom Magnetic! Trilogy by William Pauley III

Doom Magnetic is the work that put William Pauley's name on the Bizarro map. These are books that put their authors on the map. Jeremy Robert Johnson - Angel Dust Apocalypse As for me, I'll definitely try more of Pauley's work - and hopefully I'll appreciate it more in future. So take this oddball review with a grain of salt - give it a try and see for yourself. The majority probably have a point, and those one or two oddballs might just be weird. My rule of thumb when I'm reading reviews is to read the ones that stand out, but maybe not take them as seriously as the rest - if everyone hates a book, I'm not necessarily going to judge it by the one or two people who loved it. And that might be the problem - I'm thinking that this book was just way too short for me to really connect with it. I really enjoyed the first couple of chapters, especially - the opening in the saloon was hysterical, Qoser's annoyance with (apparently) the entire human race made me giggle, and Qoser's predicament after facing Maundin was absolutely priceless.īut it just didn't add up to much, in the end. There's a lot going on here, and a lot of it is surprising and interesting and downright FUN. Which makes me think that it's ME, not the book. Everybody loves this book! I'm not kidding - check out all the reviews, every single one raves about how awesome this book is. Which is why it is killing me that I didn't like this book. He takes the time to interact with the people who read his book, he's seems so sweet, hell, he is giving this book away as a download?! William Pauley III seems like such a nice guy.

It went up to the top of my to-read list. He was so nice and polite, that I felt really compelled to read his work. William Pauley III is one of the few authors to interact with me online. What the purple television was for and who wanted it, ended up being a complete surprise. What was he doing in a western? What exactly is the doom magnetic?! What the devil happened to his eye? Why was he searching for a purple television?Įventually, all my questions were answered in unexpected ways. I wanted to find more information on him. Qoser, the cue-ball eyed, Japanese assassin.

The town is named Chorizo, which is also the name of a delicious Mexican sausage.Ģ. Here are a couple reasons why I read it.ġ. Somehow, mixing those two genres with Bizarro works exceptionally well. I left that genre behind in my teen years. In all honestly, I haven't read much sci-fi as an adult. This is my first Bizarro sci-fi-western book.
