Summary: Best Darn description of Smokin I ever did here.
Review: Tom Robbins has the amazing ability to put into words concepts and realities within our world that go often wordless or coherently described. His comparisons are absolutely fun, free, and totally, WACKED! What a great trip into the realm of feminine sexuality as well. I've had a few girlfriends read this book - and all ask where the heck i found this guy cause he's right on. A fun, fast, crazy adventure of a book that will give you insight into much of yourself and our wacky planet.

Summary: For all the red headed people in the world
Review: Fine offering from Mr. Robbins given us all a deeper look into terrorism, lunar cycles and the reason red heads are the way they are.

Summary: It doesn't get much better than this...
Review: The book is chock full with absurdities, but written so well you can't ever be sure they're not true. Thomas Jefferson connected with the building of the Egyptian pyramids and the creation of Camel cigarettes?? Sure, why not?

Summary: THE MILLION BLACKBERRIES THAT CHANGED OUR LIVES
Review: While in the navy, some 13 years ago, a copy of still life with woodpecker apeared on my rack. This is the book that changed my life and the lives of the 32 previous readers of that same copy whose signatures apeared in the blank pages on that tattered old hard cover. I'm not sure if it had the same effect on number 34 but I can tell you it touched 33. It moved me from comfortable surroundings in Michigan to a small fishing village in upstate Washington in order to find the mind of a genius, and I did. the following books led me on adventure and comforted me when I was lonely and stirred my mind and moved me to tell my own tale. Thank You Tom once again.

Summary: What a stinker
Review: Bits of story are sparsly intermingled with the author's apparent facination with menstration. I feel cheated to have spent money on this book.

Summary: "Ooooh!" In the language of Leigh-Cheri
Review: I read Still Life a year ago, and needed to let it settle within my mind before allowing myself another dose of Robbin's wit. The moon's phases, Leigh Cheri's pet chiuaua, the mystery of the pyramids .. ahh! And Woodpecker, himself, never have I felt genuine pity for an outlaw. Reading one line, caused me to pause, look away a moment, visualize his acute perception, and then "Pop!" I'd think - "Right on, Robbins!"

Summary: This guy is amazing!
Review: Still Life with Woodpecker, or any Tom Robbins book, for that matter, is the best book. It is obviously a fictional piece, but has so many real issues in it, and raises so many questions. It just totally expands your brain into thinking about the world very differently. He gives you brain power.
