Gosh, but I hated this book. It felt smarmy. And mind you, I love people like Pynchon et al, but this felt like it thought it was smart but wasn't very, and it hasn't aged well. Made myself finish it because I'd been told I'd love Robbins, but this was my introduction and I never looked back.

I hated the first Tom Robbins book I read, too, and also gave up. Glad to hear I'm not alone.

This was my first attempt at reading Tom Robbins, and I couldn't make my way through it. Awful stuff.
if this had been my first attempt, i probably would have hated him too. if you feel like giving him another chance, i'd check out still life with woodpecker.
aw geeze. i just picked up this book and am about to start. i was recommended him as well. yeeesh.
This is the only Tom Robbins that I simply can't read. I tried more than once because I LOVE his other books!
