Summary: indescribable
Review: I find Jitterbug Perfume to be life affirming. It chronicles the journey of the mind, body, and soul. It encourages those to follow their beliefs, adhere to their dreams, to take chances, and dance with the gods. It shows us that life is never ending and yet it gives a long hard look at our mortality. With humor,sensuality, wit, introspection, and pure wonderment, this is something that you read and remember and share with others

Summary: Great, I recommend it to all my friends.
Review: This is a book that I go to over and over. Although I have read all of Robbin's books this is my favourite. Beets will always be tops on my vegetable list!
Keep them coming Tom.

Summary: My fourth read and still #1
Review: If you've yet to pick up a TR, start with this one. I've read 'em all and Jitterbug is the best of a very good lot

Summary: Erliechda!
Review: In the dark recesses of your id lurks a deep desire to transcend day-to-day experiences. With
Tom Robbins at the helm, you too can pirate a ship to this secretive canyon where butterflies
flutter by and mushrooms bloom under the trees. There you'll find that friend you thought was
imaginary. You know, the one who believes a dirty sock can locomate cross-country and who
found inner peace in a pack of Camels. Your friend has lived forever and knows the word that
rhymes with orange. Your friend smells faintly of jasmine, beets, and a goaty musk. Your friend
is the hitch-hiker your mother warned you about. Your friend studied at Timbuktu U. But
beware. Once you've entered this secret place your life will never be the same again.
Don't let any Tom Robbins book pass you by, butterfly. Especially not Jitterbug Perfume.

Summary: Ah, the boof!
Review: This sacred text is fated to continually remind me to Lighten Up...life is to ENJOY! I read it regularly, give it frequently, recommend it constantly. I share the story with my children. I confess that I've even been seen raiding the sugar beet seed farms nearby when the beets are in bloom. Oh the odor! That plus a little jasmine, a touch of citrus, and we'll be on our way! Oh Tom can I please buy you a microbrew?????

Summary: JITTERBUG PERFUME is unsurpassed.
Review: I've read JITTERBUG PERFUME at least once a year since it was published. Tom Robbins has always been tops at reminding us just where we stand in all this, and JITTERBUG PERFUME is his finest work. Whenever I'm feeling more than usually disgusted with it all, I reread JP. I like to give it as a gift to special people
Rating:
Summary: No other author comes close to Tom!
Review: An absolute joy... I've read this book so many times, I've lost count. I find myself going back to it after I've read something really awful... (ie, the celestine prophesy)... just to get a dose of real writing.
Tom, will you have lunch with me?

Summary: Tom Robbins is a genius
Review: I couldn't put it down. This one is possibly one of Tom Robbins' best. His exploration of the human psyche and, quite frankly, his humour make this book a blast
Rating: 
Summary: You'll become both a- and be-mused.
Review: Anyone who likes to laugh out loud while reading, in
spite of the raised eyebrows and sidelong looks, will enjoy Robbins' witty wordplay in this "epic" novel about
love, eternal life, adventure, history, perfume, human nature, and beets (that's right, beets!)
Rating:
Summary: Excellent!
Review: If you have a keen sense of smell, you'll really appreciate this tale as it follows the trail of a bottle of jasmine-scented perfume down through the ages... or even if you don't, this is Robbins on form yet again. The Roman god Pan makes a cameo in this one. =)
