I *HATE* writing this review.
William Pauley III seems like such a nice guy. 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?!
Which is why it is killing me that I didn't like this book.
I just don't get it. Everybody loves this book! I'm not kidding -- check out all the reviews, every single one raves about how awesome this book is.

A must read.
This book was so good that I want to tell you every single little detail about why I enjoyed this book so much, but I'm not going to because I don't want to give it all away.
I will tell you this though. It's a strange mix of red-neck cowboys, Japanese culture, kung-fu, cue-ball eyes, arachnids, and just general bizarre debauchery and it was awesome, so awesome that I bought this book to add to my collection after downloading the free e-book to read during my More...

Won from first reads!! Short and to the point, I absolutely love that. Made me laugh out loud at times. I have never read anything like this but I really enjoyed it, I think it's time for me to branch out! The way it was narrated made me think of the voice narrating the movie Sin City, I am not sure why.

This is my first Bizarro sci-fi-western book. In all honestly, I haven't read much sci-fi as an adult. I left that genre behind in my teen years. Westerns have never attracted me. Somehow, mixing those two genres with Bizarro works exceptionally well. This was such a fabulous book!
Here are a couple reasons why I read it...
1. The town is named Chorizo, which is also the name of a delicious Mexican sausage.
2. Qoser, the cue-ball eyed, Japanese assassin. He was a More...

I only have two complaints about this book. 1) In his vision he is too kind to Nebraska and 2) I already finished reading it and don't get to spend any more time in this world he created.
Everything else about this book I loved. Reading it is like getting home on Halloween night as a kid and going through my pillow case full of candy. Instead of just having a bar of chocolate I would have a mix of everything: licorice, gummy stuff, gum, popcorn balls, everything. On that night I would f More...

DOOM MAGNETIC! is a full throttle punch in the face.
William Pauley III has mixed part Big Trouble in Little China, part Flash Gordon, and part The Wild Bunch with some whiskey and snake venom in a coal-powered blender to make one of the most dangerous forms of gravy known to man. He poured it over a raw porterhouse and served it with a kick in the gut.
DOOM MAGNETIC! will course straight to your brain and explode into a bright flash of fury. Every orifice on your body wit More...

Cast your mind back to childhood – if you were a child of the 80s, even better. You’ll understand where I’m coming from. Remember the toys? I’m thinking specifically of play sets and the like. Remember excitedly tearing into some box full of garishly coloured plastic? Remember the action men frozen in dramatic poses, absurd weaponry, forts and vehicles? How exciting was it? It was a box of pre-packaged imagination that allowed you to delve into ridiculous fantasy. As I stare at William Pauly III

Doom Magnetic! is a ridiculously fun read. Very comic book-ey, with an incredible amount of disparate influences and elements. Each chapter shifts the perspective (and sometimes tense) of the narration, but the characters have such distinctive voices, it's never confusing. The perspective shift also lends to the comic book feel.
Without giving away any spoilers, I will say this book earns its Bizarro credibility with the most out-of-left-field cameo appearance EVER.

I had no idea what to expect from this book. Bought it because the author said he would sign it and after reading it I am glad I took a chance on this book. Plus the cover looked cool! I mean, a guy with a cue ball for an eye?
The story is very entertaining and you never know what to expect next. Exploding heads and a purple TV, mixing sci-fi with western, a job well done in writing a fun story. This is a great addition to the Bizarro genre.

This book changed my life.....not really, but it definitely changed my views on the western genre. He took the elements of the typical western and twisted, stretched, intoxicated and inhiliated it until it became a world like none I've ever imagined and I'm sure no one else has either. Fast-paced and fancy-free...simply a great read!

Thank you William that was a wonderful experience.
Talk about a book that leaves you saying "WTF just happened?" It was a hilarious quick read that left me wanting more. Q-Balls, Voices and Purple TV's OH MY. I didn't know where the next page was going to take me and that is a pleasant surprise.

Doom Magnetic is like Kill Bill written and directed by Douglas Adams. William Pauley has formed a pulp sci-fi adventure with a grizzled voice and a true flair for bizarro.

This is one of those kitchen sink books where there is too much of everything to nail it down into one genre or niche. It's like a Sanrio bag of false-eyes, cowboy hats, purple TVs, pop idols, and ADHD.
Pauley didn't stick to even a consistent writing style and instead of being schizophrenic it's charming and dynamic..and schizophrenic.

States fleeing the planet, Ziggy Stardust, a guy with a cue ball for an eye, and exploding heads galore! A highly entertaining tale told in exciting, frenetic bursts.

William Pauley delivers bizarre Bowie style, again and again with his awesome packed ‘Doom Magnetic’. You like westerns? You like pulp? You like time warping? How about mind warping? Then travel along with the Japanese’s cowboy with a pool ball for an eye. Watch out for the space spiders. The ending will literally blow your mind. I can say without a blink, William Pauley III is one of the most creative minds out there today. I immensely enjoyed this wild ride of a book, and I look forward More...

It’s a space western. Do I need to say any more? Well, yeah. It’s written by the demented mind that came up with the Brothers Crunk. This aint no Star Wars. This is insanity of the highest caliber. There’s a man with a cue-ball eye with the powers of the Doom Magnetic, and a man being hunted through space all the way to planet Japan. It’s ridiculously fast-paced bizarro madness, and William Pauley will be releasing the Doom Magnetic Trilogy in the near future. Get excited.

Fun, fast-paced sci-fi Western! I was never a huge fan of sci-fi *or* Western...yet, this really works.
I really enjoyed this book. The only thing that made me sad was that I wish it went on longer and got into a little more detail about the characters. They were fascinating and I wanted to know more about them and their strange world.
Highly recommended! The author is a great guy and he deserves to have a billion people read his stuff :)
