    <body><![CDATA[This is a wonderful book. It tells two stories so very different and yet somehow manages to tie it all together. You will never read another writer like this man. He has such a unique voice. He also manages to balance funny and sad, its just no one story is a laughs and the other all tears.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A kinky and perverse book, strangely sad. I read this one during that hippie phase of my life when eccentricity was of utmost importance. My brother's warped sense of humor inspired me and I sought out the slightly skewed observations of life. This one fit the bill. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[a great short read--very brautigan-esque with lots of flip-flopping around and short, amazingly real descriptions.  Left me with a few mental pictures of genital warts that I can't seem to shake, but other than that, a worthwhile read for a lazy afternoon.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Such a bizarre mystery, such an innocent joke of switching the numbers in an apartment building, such a horrible result.  Not recommended for young readers - there is an appalling amount of sex in this book, or almost sex, as I recall.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This one doesn't stand out in my mind as much as others. I know I really enjoyed it but I had to knock off a star since after 15 or so years, I couldn't tell you a damn thing about it. But I remember really liking it!]]></body>
