" Tom Robbins best, in my opinion. His wit and sarcasm are priceless. "

" Another great read from mr. Robbins. "

" "I've always assumed that every time a child is born, the Divine reenters the world. Okay? That's the meaning of the Christmas story. And every time that child's purity is corrupted by society, that's the meaning of the Crucifixion story. Your man Jesus stands for that child, that pure spirit, and as its surrogate, he's being born and put to death again and again, over and over, every time we inhale and exhale, not just at the vernal equinox and on the twenty-fifth of December." -Switters, as written by Tom Robbins "

" it wasnt his best but still entertainning "

" this is my favorite tom robbins (well it might be toss up with jitterbug perfume). it's wacky and funny and very entertaining. but people tend to either love it or hate it.... "

" This book features my favorite protagonist of all time. "

" This book had it moments but was mostly an OK book to pass the time while sitting on the beach. As mentioned by other readers I could not get past the pedophile parts. "

" This book / author was recommended to me. Definitely no where near what I usually read ... by a long shot. But, even though it is very dense (to use my friend's word), it was an awesome book. I loved every bit of it ... and even marked certain quotes. Switters is definitely a character and there were many laugh out loud parts. And while I did love this book ... I'm still in deep thought about the end. And I will leave it at that. I am definitely going to have to give this one a re-read to pick up on other subtle nuances that I am sure are imbedded in this book. "

" I named my dog, Switters, after the protagonist in this book. "

" Robbins is a word-smith, and holds nothing back for this adventure. Amazing. "

" There's really no reason NOT to read this book. Tom Robbins is great. "

" I tried to read this book but couldn't get past the beginning at all! It didn't make any since at all. "

" Wacky and frantic, Fierce Invalids swoops along very entertainingly through several continents and unsavory adventures. Not exactly light reading, and yes, I said unsavory and meant it. Wear your funny pants and don't be judgmental. "

" The best of all Robbins. "

" Loved it - great sarcastic humor! "

" Not one of his best. "

" This is the first book that i read by Tom Robbins and because of it I have read every other book by this author. It is a fun read, it is an easy read, it is a wild ride. Switters is one of my favorite characters in book, film or TV. It takes you from Seattle to Peru to Syria. Great book. "

" I read this a really long time ago. I remember liking it a lot, and that is about it. I was already a fan of past publications by this author so I was already in the camp of "wanting to like it". "

" he knows lots of words... "

" so random. smarmy, luxurious and indulgent. i laughed a lot and then did some community service to cleanse myself. "

" who can resist switters? not i.... "

" My favorite Tom Robbins book "

" Hilarious, I think I've read this at least three times. By far my favorite work of his. The main character "Switters" might be Robbins' best. "

" Tom Robbins is really funny. "

" Another one of my favorite stories by this author. Hillarious and beautifully writen. I would recomend it to anyone who likes this author, and to most people who just like to read. Its awesome. "

" I just have so much love for Tom Robbins in my heart.

Best line: "The Universe is organized anarchy, and we are lying in the folds of its flag." "

" Certainly one of the most entertaining and inspirational tomes I have come across. Perfect. "

" Robbins books aren't for everyone. I actually laughed quite a bit while reading this one--he has some gems in his commentary about life. "

" The most amazing book I have ever read. "

" Switters!!! This is tied for the funniest book I have ever read. Robbins has a real hard on for the Catholic Church and pyramids. I can't recommend this book enough! "

" Love Tom Robbins, I think this is one of my favorites "

" Loved it more when read in yesteryears. Last time I glanced at it, the descriptions of South America seemed to Conradian for me. Still, few can craft sentences like Robbins. And the story's damn interesting. "

" Fun book. Robbins writing is exhausting but totally worth it. "

" Surprisingly poignant, this was one of the most "unique" books that I have read in a while. So glad that someone recommended this to me :) "

" if you like tom robbins in the first place, it's one of the best!
an energy boost, and a fun story, and the usual robbins clever language and interesting new ideas. "

" I used to await Tom Robbins' novels with bated breath. Maybe I'm just an old fart now. Or maybe he is. (I couldn't believe he's 73 years old!) I enjoyed this one but it didn't take me on the magic carpet ride the old ones did. Oh well. "

" Hilarious. One of the funniest books I've ever read. Not for the faint of heart. "
