5.0étoiles sur 5 What ever happened to the golden ball?, Mai 10 2008
This review is from: Still Life with Woodpecker (Paperback)
This novel is the absolute perfect blend of comedy, romance, adventure and philosophy. Tom Robbins' masterpiece examination of objectification and love, how the two are inseparable, and how "everything is a part of it," speaks true even today, some twenty years after he wrote it. This is the all-important story of two redhead rejects, one an outlaw and one a princess of a small American-occupied country, who fall in love and create explosions. From its synopsis, it might not seem like much, but Robbins has a knack for packing his novels full of much more subtext than the plot line alone can describe.

Hopeless romantics like me, look out... despite its rare, sometimes gory approach to to the question of how to make love stay, you won't be able to stop reading.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Nothing still about this great book, Mars 30 2005
This review is from: Still Life with Woodpecker (Paperback)
*Still Life With Woodpecker* is a hilariously funny book about two insane people in love. Bernard M. Wrangle and Leigh-Cheri both move to Hawaii for two different reasons. Leigh-Cheri was visiting Hawaii because she wanted to attend a banquet for environmentalist, and on the way there she meets Bernard. Bernard is a pyromaniac who runs around with sticks of dynamite strapped to his chest. He enjoys lighting fires and blowing up buildings in his spare time. This dynamic duo runs amuck through the Island. Soon the couple falls madly in love with one another and Leigh-Cheri asks Bernard to come back home with her to meet her family. They all have dinner together and it turns out to be a complete bust, her parents hate him and they end up turning him into the FBI. Bernard is in jail now and Leigh-Cheri gets completely depressed and ends up locking herself in her room and comes up with some crazy ideas about the world. Another book I recently read and thoroughly enjoyed was Jackson McCrae's THE CHILDREN'S CORNER which is both disturbing and funny in places. Highly recommended for those with a pulse.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A Study of Redheads, Juil 5 2004
Par Amanda Richards "Modest to the extreme" (Georgetown, Guyana) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Still Life with Woodpecker (Paperback)
This is a light and entertaining book from a word-play genius. What is amazing is the way he weaves so many stories into a tidy, compact little package - almost the size of a pack of cigarettes, as a matter of fact.

This is a story about a tarnished princess, an outlaw bomber with bad teeth, a scene stealing if somewhat undomesticated loyal servant, toads - both real and plastic, an exiled King and his "Oh-Oh, spaghetti-o" Queen, a CIA not-so-secret agent, an outraged Middle Eastern playboy, blackberries, Camels, Ralph Nader, pyramids and aliens from Argon.

What more could you possibly want in a book?

Tom Robbins has a genuine talent for words and puns, and those with active funny bones will be tickled throughout. His casual use of words like "slishy" and phrases like "I have a black belt in haiku" abound, to be discovered with unbridled delight.

This is a book to be enjoyed within one lunar cycle without fear of repercussions.
