review 1: A satisfying heaping of philosophy, some human spirit, a dash of magic, a good portion of adventure, and a coating of humor make Nine Kinds of Naked a “feel good” book; the kind of book you take to a cafe on a snowy day, just for the nostalgia of snowy-day-book-reading. Tony Vigorito has a talent for wefting and weaving multiple story lines into a quirky and quaint little quilt of reading pleasure. As many interweaving stories do, there is a bit of redundancy, but the whimsically wild and nakedly free style of the book allow for the repetition to be over-looked. Its a smart little romp through space and time; plus there a gnome in the story. If you like symmetry (and synchronicity), a good laugh, a smart read, and a handful of characters who are trying to find their w... moreay through the adventure known as life, then I’d recommend this crazy naked book.
review 2: I got a lot out of this crazy book. It seems like the more whimsical books are speaking to me the most right now. "and he was awkward but he was smiling just the same and no longer was there loss as herky-jerky he danced, high stepping his feet as his arms flailed the fool but no one was judging and least of all he, for he became we and we are Spirits embodied and our bodies are but leotards for the soul and we are here to caress this Earth with the dance of our lives and there is nothing we can build that will not collapse but we can love without limit and dance without denial 'cause this is our life and this is our death and we don't know why and we don't know where but this is our dream and if this dream is to be then we must be free to abandon the past and give up control and dance, and dance, and dance the wild divine" "Here is the Earth at play in the mind of God, respiring the breath of heaven as one by one we lose control and find at last the peace that radiates eternal ecstatic out of every moment right now and we give up-and give in-to that inclination, that instinct, that impulse, to love" "Perhaps you are not nine kinds of naked after all, Mister Mastermind" less

It's like Tom Robbins, except with more philosophizing and less plot. Still a fun romp of a read.
