Summary: Immortality acheived!
Review: Perfume and immortality may SEEM unrelated subjects, but after reading this masterpiece it is impossible to refer to one and not the other... This book has some of the most interesting descriptions and metaphors that I have ever read--words used in such a way as to make the next page impossible to ignore. And what characters! All hail the great individual Alobar and his gallavanting wife Kudra. And no doubt the great Pan and Bunny LeFever. Basically, this book is for anyone at all who likes having things set before them a different way--it poses some really interesting questions.(I.e.--CAN one refer to curtains as 'drapes'? What effect does perfume have on, say, goats? What is the best Mardi Gras costume? And, of course--IS there a perfect taco?...) I guess that's about it. This is one superb book, though and I, for one, am practicing my Bandaloop breathing....

Review: Looking for the meaning of life? your destiny? You'll find it all in one read - but like a bewitching lover you'll have to go back again and again. My ear-marked, page-torn, flimsy-covered copy lies in my own hall-of-fame-library. If you only read one book in your life (you poor pathetic soul) read this one!

Summary: There is sparkle here, but I do not see the gold.
Review: Robbins gift for metaphor is undeniable, his talent for onomatopeia unmatched, and his ability to discover wonder in the mundane is an extraordinary gift.Yet, as someone who has read all the other Robbins novels (this was the last), I must confess that I come away a trifle disappointed from this one ... beyond his cultivated eccentricity of prose, which is charming no doubt,there is little which makes me change the lenses with which I view the world.Perhaps I am holding him up to his own (too) high standards...but I would still reccommend this book for anybody who can get drunk on words.

Summary: Loved it!!
Review: Jitterbug Perfume is Robbins at his best, or at least a close tie with "Skinny Legs and All". One of those books you have to revisit at least once a year... especially after some nit wit talks you into reading crap like "Celestine Prophesy". If you don't like Jitterbug Perfume.. I'll eat my flip flop.

Summary: This book makes you think that anything is possible.
Review: This book made me consider or hope that there is more in this world then we know. It was very interesting it almost seemed that T0m lived in all of the time periods of the book I do not think humor was a big part of the book. It was an adventure,made people think and also about a great love with life and the world's inhabitants

Summary: It's possible to look into his immortal eyes
Review: Here is a simple recipe for making yourself grin so wide it hurts.
1) Read Jitterbug Perfume. Absorb it. Learn it. Love it. Remember especially the scene where our hero smokes a rolled-up slipper while walking through a field. Write down the recipe for immortality. Breathe the fading odor of Pan.
2) Listen to the song 'Pan Is Alive' by the Waterboys, on the CD 'Dream Harder.' Sing along with the lines "Pan is dead! Long live Pan!" and "Some say the gods are just a myth / But guess who I've been dancing with?"
3) Mix well. Drive with all the windows open. Scream in delight.
This is a fantastic book.
And this is an author, a man, whom I would trust to design my eternity.
