Natasha Stovall The Village Voice Lopez catches fire to three-chord punk rock, splattering her psychic guts all over the page, leaving nothing to the imagination.
Patricia Holt San Francisco Chronicle Lopez gives Tomato an outlaw integrity that Thelma and Louise only hinted at. Tomato's quest for identity and freedom actually becomes our own.
Karen Helfrich Lambda Book Report There's a sizable, rebelliously tasteless portion of our reading public who will soon want to make Lopez their cartoonist pillow queen.
James S. Howard The Fresno Bee It's a fun, fast, and fabulous first novel.
Feminist Bookstore News Not for the faint of heart....Racy, raunchy, riotously funny, and hilariously incisive.

Kurzbeschreibung
Tomato Rodriguez hops on her motorcycle and embarks on the ultimate sea-to-shining-sea all-girl adventure -- a story in that combines all the best parts of Alice in Wonderland and Easy Rider as Tomato crosses the country in search of the meaning of life, love, and the perfect post office.
Flaming Iguanas is a hilarious novel that combines text, line drawings, rubber stamp art, and a serious dose of attitude. The result is a wild and wonderful ride unlike any you you've ever taken before.

If you've ever wondered what it would be like to read a bookwhere someone was witty, funny, honest and inspiring, then you shouldget this book. In only a few words, Erika has you hooked and you'll either love her or hate her, but my bet is that you won't stop reading until you finish...
Format:Taschenbuch
Erika Lopez's novel, "Flaming Iguanas", was a wonderful mixture of humor, feminism, and just plain truth. Through all of the main character's (Tomato) adventures on her almost-dependable bike, the reader is allowed a vivid glimpse into the histerical mind of the narrator. Through Erika Lopez's vivid imagination and intricate use of words, the reader is also able to see the transformation that Tomato makes from the beginning of her cross country road trip, to the end. The novel has a slight hint of feminism, however it is not meant to be read solely by females. The novel is quite unique in its form and content and should be experienced by anyone who enjoys an interesting story plot. The novel was very well written and the author, Erika Lopez, should be applauded for her contribution to the literary world.
Format:Taschenbuch
This book arrived when I was suffering a bout of flu and feeling very depressed. I cheered me up immensely - I couldn't put it down, and read it in 4 hours - there are a lot of pictures in it! Erika set off on a journey that many bikers dream of, despite her naivety to motorcycling in general. The only downside to the book was that it seemed to concentrate on her confusion about her own sexuality, something I had not expected in a book about riding a bike across America. However, well worth the few dollars it costs.

Absolute chick book
From floating cat ghosts' to big Canadian Johns. I was rolling on the floor, in bed and at the laundrymat. I must now devour whatever else Ms. Lopez has to offer.

Great Fun...I felt the wind in my teeth
This was such a fun book...I still feel as though I took the ride with Erika. I loved this book so much I sent a copy to my rather conservative Dad.
