Negative Positive
Title: Bizarre, fascinating, wonderful!
Review: I loved this book. I've read all six books that Tom Robbins has published (so far! ) and I have to say, it's the only one that I liked as much the second . . . or third . . . or fourth time through. _Woodpecker_ came close . . . but no. The first time I read it I was confused out of my mind the first time through. It's in second person -- not first, or third, or both like _Roadside_ -- and it takes a while to get the info everyone likes to know about the main character -- name, what she looks like, etc. But the flaws so evident in _Skinny Legs and All_ -- to me anyways -- are absent in this book. An overly broad focus seemed to be his downfall in _SLAA_, and in _HAIFP_, the focus is so tight that . . . well, it's very tight. Let's just hope that the new one is as good (or better?).
Is the review positive or negative?
