Summary: Robbins is the Sensual Imagery Master!!!
Review: I absolutely loved this book! Recommended strongly from a close friend, this was my first introduction into the world of Tom Robbins...since then, I have hungrily searched out and read as much as I possibly can of his works. As a fellow Northwest dweller, I really enjoyed his essay "You Moist Remember This," recently published in the Seattle P.I. If you haven't read Robbins, I suggest you begin with this twisting, beautiful, tongue-in-cheek novel of sorts. It's well worth the effort.

Summary: The best book ever written!
Review: All of Tom Robbins' books are wonderful, but this is the best. It is a celebration of life that is superbly written. His ability to describe everyday life events is amazing. He has an outstanding command of the English language. His work is a joy to read. You will walk away from this book feeling the necessity to live life to the fullest.

Summary: A rich in fantasy and information story
Review: I was carried away with the complex but also so interesting information that Tom used in order to create his characters. I was amused by the mix of their stories which finally created a new, modern, myth. I was reminded that myths from all countries, from all times have similar points, that it can be my myth and your myth. I sometimes wondered how he has managed to go so well under the skin of his European and Eastern heroes while leaving in America?!

Summary: 5 stars isn't enough, this book deserves a million.
Review: Jitterbug perfume is the best book I have ever read and I've read and I've read tons. Everything from the characters to the plot to the scenery was amazing and well developed. You don't know what you're missing if you don't read this. It was kind of slow in the beginning but its worth the wait.

Summary: A complex, extraordinary journey
Review: This book is wonderfully written. It took me a few pages to get into it, but then I was consumed. The ending, where Tom sometimes tends to leave me hanging, pulls it all together. It's an exhausting journey!

Rating:

Summary: What An Adventure!
Review: Tom Robbins has created a wonderful saga with many dynamic characters and situations. I still think about the characters in this book. I was terribly saddened when I came to the last line and realized that the adventure Robbins had just taken me had come to an end. This book is perfect for traveling. And, I too, agree "the beet is the most intense of vegetables..." If you have an imagination and want to visit far away places and times, then this book is for you.
