Book Reviews of Villa Incognito

Book Review: pla-bonga, pla-bonga, pla-bonga
Summary: 5 Stars

In typcial Robbins style, he gives voice to the animal and inanimate with humor and vivid descriptions. He grabs hold of the human condition and lets us know that it's a dangerous situation, but that's ok: danger is the perfume of change, and change is the future's vocation. Robbins' ability to juggle many characters and plots and intertwine them has always impressed me and I was not disappointed here. Although I have always marveled at his ability to write strong female protagonists; I was pleased to see him continue writing strong male characters as he did in "Fierce Invalids Home From Warm Climates". I have read all of Robbins' books and each one is as much fun as the last!!!!

Summary of Villa Incognito

Imagine there are American MIAs who chose to remain missing after the Vietnam War. Imagine a family in which four generations of strong, alluring women share a mysterious connection to an outlandish figure from Japanese folklore. Imagine them part of a novel that only Tom Robbins could create?a magically crafted work as timeless as myth yet as topical as the latest international threat. But no matter how hard you try, you?ll never imagine what you?ll find inside the Villa Incognito: a tilt-a-whirl of identity, masquerade, and disguise that dares to pull off ?the false mustache of the world? and reveal the even greater mystery underneath. For neither the mists of Laos nor the Bangkok smog, neither the overcast of Seattle nor the fog of San Francisco, neither the murk of the intelligence community nor the mummery of the circus can obscure the pure linguistic phosphor that illuminates every page of one of America?s most consistently surprising and inventive writers.
