Publisher's Summary

Sissy Hankshaw, an almost flawlessly beautiful small-town girl with big-time dreams, hitchhikes her way into your heart, your hopes, and your sleeping bag in Tom Robbins's magical, funny, and most famous novel. Follow Sissy's amazing odyssey from Virginia to chic Manhattan to the Dakota Badlands, where FBI agents, cowgirls, and ecstatic whooping cranes explode in a deliciously drawn-out climax. Along the way, you'll meet such unforgettable characters as Bonanza Jellybean and the smooth-riding cowgirls of Rubber Rose Ranch; Chink, the lascivious guru of yams and yang; Julian, an asthmatic Mohawk; and Dr. Robbins, the preventive psychiatrist and reality instructor. Even Cowgirls Get the Blues is Tom Robbins at his offbeat, outrageous, and inventive best.

Beautiful, deep, hilarious

Tom Robbins conjures all feelings at once, including mirth. This was a wonderful experience, beyond that of most fiction.

My only conplaint is a constant faint echo within the recording, which is a pity, as the voice actor is superb. I could switch off to the background sound, but some might find it a bit frustrating.

Disappointed

I couldn't get into the story at all. The narator was excellent but the story wasn't interesting to me.
