Villa Incognito Audiobook

" It was hard to get into. For the most part, I like the way Mr. Robbins writes, but I could barely get through the book. "

" I'm a HUGE fan of Tom Robbins, but this was likely my least favorite of his books. I guess that the anticipation ended up killing the beast for me...it was his 1st new novel in some time, I was anxious for the new material, and the book was relatively short (more like an extended short story, than a full novel). I was ready to sink my teeth into something a bit more bulky. As usual, though, his characters are a riot and find themselves in always amusing, but precarious situations. "

" Halfway decent, but just not as delicious as other Tom Robbins books. Still enjoyable though! "

" Huge disappointment given Tom Robbins' other books. Which are awesome. This was OK, then took a very strange turn at the end. It was like he had written 90 percent of the book, then 9/11 happened, then he slapped a completely different ending on it. Lame. "

" Once again Robbins leads you down the rabbit hole, where it's best to just sit back, take in the scenary, and see where you go. "

" I think this is my favorite robbins book. "

" Not Robbins' best but still damn good. After all, it has Robbins' one-of-a-kind voice, one of those stories shot from the other side of the moon, and an exotic setting. A swell read for any Robbins fan but a book to avoid for squares who can't take the wild world of Tom Robbins. "

" A fun novel in Robbin's typical bizarre fashion. I want to live there. "

" Explains the bump on the roof of my mouth. "

" One of the best opening sentences ever. "

" I didn't finish this book, which is unusual for me. It just didn't catch me, so I put it down. "

" This was my first Tom Robbins tale- it will definitely NOT be my last! What a great story- so bizarre & fantastic! I loved the story, the characters, the strangeness of it all, & the quality of the writing. "

" The worst book ever. Bar none. So weird. So creepy. So full of odd and inappropriate references to male genitalia. I didn't get past page 100. "

" I love, love, love Tom Robbins but this book was only so-so. Definitely not his best. Entertaining, amusing and bizarre in a way that only Tom Robbins can do, but....meh. "

" wierdest book i ever read. was my first tom robbins and probably my last. "

" Maybe a little too bizarre, even for me. Probably a book just for Tom Robbins fans. "

" The tanooki and his knock-knocks are the only good parts in this. :) "

" I must have missed so much about this flawed masterpiece when I first read it in 03. Robbins needs to be savored and perhaps I was too busy trying to get done. I only call it flawed because it was too short. When you only publish a book every 6 years, they should be pretty long IMHO. "

" To date...this book has the most unique opening line I've ever read. "

" "When socialism is pushed beyond a certain point, it becomes totalitarianism. Capitalism, on the other hand, if carried to its extreme, becomes anarchy."~T.Robbins "

" Book on CD - whatever this guy is on I want it, just started the book and it is weird, wild and pretty darn funny. Finished the book and I loved it - will now proceed to read everything the guy ever wrote. Talk about a mental orgasm.....this is it! "

" Again, not one of my favorites, but Robbins still maintains his legendary story telling status "

" Too bizarre for my liking, yet I admire the imagination. I wouldn't be surprised if this book had a cult following with acid heads. "

" It is what it is, You are what it, no mistakes. "

" fiction. of his more recent books, this was one of my favorites. touches on drugs (duh, what tom robbins book doesn't?) and politics. "

" An interesting tale of twists and unlikely connections - American MIAs in Laos and the great-granddaughter of a tanuki-human union.<br/> "

" Interesting. At the beginning I wasn't sure I would like it but it did grab me. "

" As I've said before, to read Tom Robbins is to understand... Very enjoyable as usual. "

" Not Robbins' best but still damn good. After all, it has Robbins' one-of-a-kind voice, one of those stories shot from the other side of the moon, and an exotic setting. A swell read for any Robbins fan but a book to avoid for squares who can't take the wild world of Tom Robbins. "

" It was not as good as Jitterbug Perfume, but it had some seriously great quotes. Tom Robbins is really my favorite brain candy. "

" Different - at first I wasn't sure I could get into it - sort it all through to make it acceptable never mind believable but by the end I enjoyed it. "

" Tom Robbins was described to me as a master wordsmith. Unfortunately, I felt like I was reading a dry version of Carl Hiassan. This book did not hook me as a reader nor did it have any major redeeming qualities in the end. Glad to be done. "

" Pretty characteristic of Tom Robbins, only a little shorter than usual. I think my favourite is either Jitterbug Perfume or Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates: they seem a bit more inspired, but this is a terrific read. "

" Took a while to get interesting - it would seem Tom Robbins has pressure to out-Tom Robbins himself. Nonetheless, it was profound at moments (mayonaise) and definitely entertaining. "

" I was drawn in during the hilarious first section but started losing interest towards the end. A fun, quick read. "

" The first 70 pages or so were interesting, but the plot changed and I lost interest. "

" Stubblefield is the best, and his monologues are very <br/>entertaining. I enjoyed this book. "
