This was the first Tom Robbins book I ever read. Loved it! All of his books are well worth the time. He writes the best metaphors/similies.
I recently reread this book. It's a lot of fun, and John D. MacDonald comes up with several good lines. MacDonald mostly wrote crime, detective, and mystery fiction, but this one is a fantasy or science fiction, depending on how one wants to define the categories. It amuses me that the novel apparently has spawned an Internet genre of time-stop amateur fiction. Some of the stories even use a watch as the magical gizmo.
