I just finished reading this book last night and had to write something about it. How exciting it was to be reading a novel that spit in the face of Armageddon as we crossed over into the year 2000. Robbins' language, that I can only describe as wittily self-conscious (even if that is an oxymoron), energizes every page and keeps you smiling as you ponder the great frustrations of life (sex, religion, money, etc.). Read it! That's an order (and one you should not take lightly). Read it now before all of those millenial fears and feelings dissipate. Enjoy!
