Best Book I Have Ever Read
The headline says it all. This book changed my life. Tom Robbins has an imagination that makes Walt Disney's look like a mental pygmie. His work is mind blowing. The best way I can describe this book is it is about the scent of immortality, and beets. Take your brain on an adventure and read this book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
