this was my second tom robbins book and i enjoyed it as much as my first. this book did have a bit of a case of "women written by a man" syndrome but sadly...it be like that sometimes. either way, i really liked this book and thought it was interesting how it switched back and forth from ancient bohemia to modern day seattle, new orleans, and paris.
