One of two copies left at the Knox 9th Floor Book Exchange. Both copies are being registered and released.

This was one of two copies left at the book exchange I set up at my office. It looks interesting, so I'll take this copy to read and release, and I'll leave the other on the book exchange for someone else to enjoy.

Initially, I found this book more than a little surreal, but as I continued to read, the verbal fireworks of Robbins' prose gradually won me over. Reading this book is the verbal equivalent to a carnival ride: fast and vibrant, it will make your head spin. The imagery painted here is vivid and alive, and the characters are quirky and complex. There are several seemingly divergent threads in this story, which suddenly converge in the end, though not all the questions are answered. The numerous themes that twist through the rapid-fire prose might be contraversial to some, but thoughtful readers will find plenty of ideas to chew on. An incredibly original book, it might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I found it entertaining.

RELEASE NOTES:

Left in room E205, in endtable drawer in the living room, with the other books left by previous visitors.
