Skinny Legs and All

Helpful Score: 4


Wow... this is exactly my kind of book. Very creative, very unusual, more than a little off-kilter. If you try to describe what happens to anyone who's never read this book, they'll look at you like you're crazy. It's so inventive, so lyrical... Robbins' use of metaphor is simply brilliant, and he follows several different story lines through the book, and you can feel them all careening through the pages, knowing they're converging on a common finale. Definitely a book for open-minded adults, as the racy scenes abound, and the author skewers some long-held beliefs about history and religion. GREAT READ!
