One of the best books I've ever written. I was completely enchanted and stuck to this book. This book is one of the very little books that actually made me rethink everything I was taught.

Hot air balloons and Jesus. What do they have in common? Read and find out.

I really like Tom Robbins. His books are all very quirky and I find them entertaining. This is about a strange couple that open a roadside zoo and hot dog stand, and their crazy friend who ends up infiltrating a secret sect of Catholic monks working as assassins for the Vatican.

Man, I loved me this book. Perfect? No, but neither is Nature, dude.
This bit of psychedic beauty published in 1971 like really encapsulates a movement. You know. The spiritualism, mystism, and various other isms that were part of the questing thriving mass that was the briefly lit hippy movement of the late sixties. Free sex, free dope, free god. Free god, dude, from his prisons in the prisons of the world and embrace the Oneness that is all the minute specks of everything that is the Universe.
funny, irreverent, challenging, sometimes pointless and self-absorbed, this was an enjoyable and occasionally beautifully written novel.

My favorite Tom Robbin's book. Lots of wild characters and an even wilder plot.
