Customer Reviews

Tom Robbins, is Rob Swigart your Guru?

I enjoyed Little America recently (how had I missed it for so long?) The words grab you and throw you in the middle of a raging stream of consciousness without a life preserver, so you read quickly to keep your head above the flow. Swigart uses words much like one of my all-time favorite authors, Tom Robbins. Maybe they're the same person?!? At any rate, dig out your old water wings and read this book!

Outstanding...infinitely entertaining

A hilarious story. Extremely well written. I first read this book ten or twelve years ago and have read it at least half a dozen times since. It's almost impossible to put down. One of the most entertaining books I have ever read. Swigart is a master wordsmith.

"Real America"

One of those books that one can glean more and more insight from the more times one reads it. A word of warning: While reading this book, one is inclined to try and get through it quite fast, it is that humorous and entertaining! The benefit of reading a bit slower is that one is able to better appreciate the subtle innuendos. Altogether, Mr. Swigart exhibits an above average intelligence and insight as well as a unique sense of humor. A book well worth investing in, and reading over and over.

"......i'd always wanted to kill my father....."

little america is the best book i've ever read, despite the sudden ending. it's about the hardest book to do a report on (you have to leave out most of the book), but it's definately worth reading. unless you are easily offended......

The most outrageously funny book I have ever read

It may not be PC but it is undoubtly the most hilarious book I have ever read. One of the few books to make me laugh out loud time and time again. The mental imagry is beyound description.A must read for anyone with a slightly warped sence of humor.
