I second what Bee-dubya-ell said -- I read it and most of Richard Brautigan's other books in the early '70s. Still got copies of most of them, but haven't re-read any including TFIA. I remember enjoying it, but certainly can't give you any details.

I remember, too, that I got a kick out of a band naming itself after the book -- but, then again, I get a kick out of ANY musical group name with literary/cultural references. (I loved the name Pioneers of Modern Typography, but, then again, I was a typographer at the time.)
