## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Thrilling! Trippy. Beautifully written.
  

*by T***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 30, 2023*

I'm a long time fan of Tom Robbins' writing and although I have thoroughly enjoyed all of his books, this one is my favorite. It is an account of many magical journeys across the planet peppered with strange beings we know as 'humans.'

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Hilarious & plucky, with a deep intellectual streak. Not for the easy-reading crowd.
  

*by R***C on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 3, 2023*

This is one of those particularly-precious gems whose relatively severe artistry and nuance is guaranteed to be lost on the majority of readers. At its simplest, it's a celebratory exploration of that dichotomy of self endemic to our modern human way of life.Astute intellectuals will appreciate the many layers of deliberate ironies and satire underlying its complex & playful witticisms, as well as their delightful contrast with the stark-raving wisdom and honesty of its meandering-but-resonant critical narratives.Less-astute and/or particularly simple-minded readers will probably be bothered by its "overly-complex" and "tedious" flirtations with "difficult to comprehend" high-level subjects. This isn't Catcher in the Rye.

1) Plot (4 stars) - An ex-CIA agent is sent by his grandma to release a parrot in South America only to become infected by a strange illness whose cure can only be found in an oasis in the Middle East.  It's a typical Robbins wacky ride, so don't expect an especially linear plot.  That said, it still definitely has structure, mystery, and builds toward a resolution.2) Characters (4 stars) - Switters is the cocksure adventurer.  Intellectual, bold, spontaneous.  He's a great guy to ride along with on a fun journey.  However, there didn't seem to be much room for his inner growth.  What did he want to become?  Or was he already perfect when the novel began?3) Theme (4 stars) - The central theme seems to be about the power of mindful playfulness ... that joy is wisdom.  In addition, there were dozens of other little ideas to keep you pondering--from what makes someone human (humor, imagination, eroticism, spirituality, rebelliousness, and aesthetics, in case you were wondering), to what our inner awareness can show us vs. the awareness brought by ingesting certain plants, to the boundaries and powers of language.  Robbins likes his theories, and he sprinkles them liberally in this work.4) Voice (4 stars) - Robbins likes to enjoy himself, and it comes through in his prose.  He doesn't just have a proclivity for metaphor, he turns those metaphors into little anthropomorphized stories that have a life of their own.  When not supporting whimsical metaphor, his sentences are jaunty and smooth.  A fine fine writer, but sometimes it felt like he might be nervous to convey any of life's sadder side--depression, loss, hopelessness.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I want books filled with the sad stuff, just that it exists and perhaps it should get some page time to make things seem more real.5) Setting (4 stars) - Robbins' descriptions of the various locales were always vivid and entertaining.  However, the observational distance of his writing sometimes left me feeling a little distant from these places.6) Overall (4 stars) - All 4s equals a 4.  I'd recommend it.  It was a lively, thought-provoking, zany ride.
