2.0 out of 5 stars An excellent piece of Awful Literature., Oct 24 2006
By Rosanne Beauchesne "Rosanne Beauchesne is not... (Kamloops, BC, Canada.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is absolutely riveting. Zack "Geist Editor" Parsons succeeds in making complex Vehicle and Aircraft designs sound simple and remarkably humourous, all the while drawing attention towards the UTTER stupidity of the inventors. Had these existed, WWII might have had an enitrely different outcome.
Another benefit of owning this book is making people say "WTF?!" when they see the title. Very well picked.
Finally, the artwork in the book is awe-inspiring. Extrememly well-done.

My only criticism is the amount of content of the book Zack chose to reveal on his home website, www.somethingawful.com . He chose to reveal a considerable amount, including most of the artwork on the side of the page. However, this has little to do with the book itself, and was Zack's own decision.

Overall, this book makes me burst out laughing every time someone says "Hitler", "WWII", or "Holocaust". 9.5/10

Thank you very much, Zack, for your amazing book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well written and very funny, Oct 10 2006
By M. Brummell (Vancouver, BC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is now one of my favourite books. I read all of Mr. Parsons' Weird-WWII articles on SomethingAwful long ago, and I pre-ordered the book as soon as it became available. Normally, I take weeks to plow through even short non-fiction - but I zipped through this book in 2 days, laughing at every page.

The organisation of the book and individual chapters is well done and consistent, with the fictional parts ("Hypothetical Deployment History" and "What Fight Have Been") packed with thoroughly entertaining speculation. Parsons' commentary on the foolish ideas and strange personalities behind them provided me with uncontrollable laughter throughout, despite the fundamentally scary scenarios, like a Nazi nuclear weapon.

On the discussion over at Amazon.com, some are worried that the book may be inappropriate for those people that might be offended by the language and attitudes of SomethingAwful.com. Let me assure you, this book would be appropriate for almost anyone interested in the stranger side of World War II. There is no profanity (that I can recall, anyway) except perhaps one or two in-character expletetives in the fiction parts. The only people who get gratuitously insulted are Hitler and other senior Nazi party officials and a couple of odd-ball British and American inventors who pushed just a little too hard on their more outlandish ideas.

Summary: great read, very funny, and I'm really hoping that a sequel gets written soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait, Aug 30 2006
By WalnutC (Vancouver BC) - See all my reviews
If this book is anything like the web articles that spawned it, it will be a hilarious look at real WW2 history.

Nothing better that reading about some of the truly bizarre engineering ideas to come out of that time.
