The Gnome King reviewed Grundish and Askew by Lance Carbuncle
Review of 'Grundish and Askew' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Woooooooooooooooooooooo. What an awesome book! Really, really gross, very violent and really really gross.
Grundish is my new favourite character... ever. His relationship with the insane fuckup that is Askew is really moving at times. And just how proud he was over a massive poo he did had me laughing so much I had to take a photo of the page to send a friend, because my wife just didn't understand why it was so funny.
The book is well written and gradually adds more and more pace as the story nears it's conclusion. Lance has also been kind enough to include endnotes, I am always Googling words to see what they mean and luckily he saved me from having DOCKING (you'll have to buy this book now if you want to know what this is hehe) in my search history... so the book gets a point for teaching the …

A few times during the book i think the author may have been a wee bit drunk and the characters start attacking the author about his lazy writing style, very funny if not strange.
There is a character in this book that is hinted at being in another so it looks like I need to read previous books to find out more.
If you are up for reading a story that pushes the limits of good taste then definitely give this a go. There is also an audiobook out and I think that would be good fun to listen to.
Looking forward to reading more.
