Summary: Brilliant, unusual, captivating, and everything else
Comment: Tom Robbins is one of my all-time favorite authors. There are three I couldn't live without: David Sedaris, Jackson McCrae, and Robbins. I've read everything he's written, and while "Cowgirls" is top of the line, "Another Roadside Attraction" is close behind. "Cowgirls" was lent to me many years ago when I was in college and I've been giving copies away ever since. This is a great story--fun, unusual, and above all, well-written. You can't go wrong with a Tom Robbins book and this is his best effort to date.
Also recommended: Naked by Sedaris, and Bark of the Dogwood by McCrae

Summary: terrific....
Comment: I knew it was a good book, because by the time I had finished it I had experienced every emotion a book could possibly make me feel. I loved some of these characters, hated others, I laughed, I cried, I read on in horror, disappointment, rage, elation, and pure estatic joy. The pure music of Robbins's words carried me out of this world and into a world of magic and poetry. Even after the first few pages, I had learned that all I had to do was toss a thumb in the air and I could hitch a ride to a place where I could learn a little bit more about the world around me and be completely enchanted in the process. I'm glad I was able to find my way to the clockworks. I have run across very few authors that have the same love of language Robbins does. I applaud this book loudly and recommend it to everybody... not just the aspiring cowgirl. It's philisophical content is inspiring.
Rating: 1
Summary: silly throwaway entertainment
Comment: Maybe my expectations are too high or I am a snob, but I thought this was a truly lousy novel. It is a typical frivolous 70s-style story, posturing as a more genuine 1960s anti-establishment statement but really just baldly commercial.
The plot is full of characters that are 2-dimensional sterotypes, from the neurotic Indian advertising artist to the guru in the desert. With its breathtaking pretentions, it is not even as good as a TV sitcom.
Not recommended. Watch Mork & Mindy or re-runs of the original Saturday night live instead, if you want a genuine 70s experience.
