About this title: Do you believe in the butterfly effect? Can the flap of a butterfly's wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Tibet? What if the butterfly happens to be flapping centuries before the tornado stirs? Does the Great White Spot - a twenty-first-century weather anomaly rotating clockwise off the coast of Louisiana - stem from a ninth-century serf untying a knot in a strap of enchanted leather? In the tradition of Tom Robbins and Christopher Moore, and with all the playfulness and prose-poetics that made his "Just a Couple of Days" such an underground phenomenon, Tony Vigorito now turns his visionary ...

"If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Vigorito really, really loves Vonnegut and Robbins. He is clearly a clever writer, intelligent with a good imagination. But he has coopted so many of the literary devices that Robbins and Vonnegut created and perfected, I can't help but compare. I liked the basic story--just think the author tried to do too much."
"It's not Just a Couple of Days. Just a couple of days is a lot better written, and has a better story. That being said, this is still a pretty damn good book. His life-philosophy actually formed the underpinnings of my personal philosophy, although I tend to disagree with many of his ideas, this makes me force myself to come up with an objection. I've read this book 2, 3 times, and I really like how it encourages the thought process. That being said, Just a Couple of Days is still A LOT better."
