Book description

When the stock market crashes on the Thursday before Easter, you—an ambitious, although ineffectual and not entirely ethical young broker—are convinced that you’re facing the Weekend from Hell. Before the market reopens on Monday, you’re going to have to scramble and scheme to cover your butt, but there’s no way…

Why read it?

1 author picked Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I’m a fan of authors who are brave enough to write with reckless abandon, and Tom Robbins, the author of this book, is one of the few. I laughed my way through this novel as it careened from the stock-market crash that starts the novel right through its conclusion.

A 300-pound psychic? A born-again monkey? African rituals? Tarot-card bombshells? A man who has learned how to say “vagina” in more than forty languages? This is a rocket ride and more about great and imaginative writing than a hard plot. Just my kind of stuff.
