Product Description
From Amazon
It's clear that when Robbins sits down to write, he has one thing on his mind: having himself some fun. I read Another Roadside Attraction, years ago, then immediately went back to the beginning of the book and read it again. Robbins holds nothing back in this, his first novel. It's a perfect introduction to the Robbins oeuvre of oddness.
Review
"Written with a style and humor that haven't been seen since Mark Twain . . . it is a prize."--Los Angeles Times
“Hard to put down because of the sheer brilliance and fun of the writing. The sentiments of Brautigan and the joyously compassionate omniscience of Fielding dance through the pages garbed colorfully in the language of Joyce.”—Rolling Stone

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great writing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Another Roadside Attraction (Paperback)
While "Cowgirls" is, in my opinion, the best of the Robbins lot, "Roadside" is a close second. I've read them all and love each and every one. He never does the same thing twice in his books, yet manages to have a sense of style and way of writing that lets you know this is a work from Robbins. His characters are at once unbelievable and yet more memorable and real than people we might know in everyday life. Also recommended: Even Cowgirls Get the Blues and McCrae's Bark of the Dogwood
5.0 out of 5 stars
Eff-ing brilliant,

This review is from: ANOTHER ROADSIDE ATTRACTION (Mass Market Paperback)
The characters are simultaneously sexy and odd, the plot is pure fun, Robbins' language is humorous and inventive. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Note: devout Christians should be forewarned that this book pokes awesome fun at religion.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Hysterical, moving, unearthly, and well . . . just great!,
This review is from: Another Roadside Attraction (Paperback)
A truly fantastic book - easily one of my favorites. Robbins combines outstanding imagination and imagery with humor and thought provoking philosophy. He has managed to outline the struggle between self and religion that many partake in daily often without being able to qualify it. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone who has ever once thought about their own mortality, morals, values and beliefs - religious or otherwise.Also recommended: BARK OF THE DOGWOOD
