Book Description:
Still Life with Woodpecker is sort of a love story that takes place inside a pack of Camel cigarettes. It reveals the purpose of the moon, explains the difference between criminals and outlaws, examines the conflict between social activism and romantic individualism, and paints a portrait of contemporary society that includes powerful Arabs, exiled royalty, and pregnant cheerleaders. It also deals with the problem of redheads.

Probably one of the greatest books I have ever read. There are not many books that I can stomach reading twice, but I have read this book numerous times and I get something new out of it each time. If you are looking for a new view point on life, read this.

Tom Robbins has about the most unique take on life I have ever encountered. As with all his stories this book is highly immaginative!

One of my absolute favorite books of all time! Tom Robbins is a creative genius who draws you into a story and doesn't let you go. Who knew you could find the meaning of life on a pack of Camel Cigarettes?!! I can't recommend this book enough - be prepared to laugh out loud.

Someone slipped me this book in high school, when I was going through my first real "heartbreak". Robbins snapped me out of my grieving real quick. Hilarious!!! And I quote: "Who knows how to make love stay?" An excellent read!

This book was given to me as a gift by my friend Gwen who was COMPLETELY in love with it. She just adores this author with no end in sight. I never got around to reading it, but I feel pretty confident about recommending it. Gwen knows her stuff!
