Summary: A BOOK FOR A TYPES!
Comment: This book is full of stories that JIMMY wrote himself using the ingenious imagination that we all wish we could have. The stories are fun to read, and if you are a PARROTHEAD, you'll realize that some of the stories are the prose versions of some of his songs. The stories are entertaining, and great to curl up with on a rainy day. I recommend this for PARROTHEADS, and anybody who just likes a nice short story. Happy reading!

Summary: Lightweight fun
Comment: Jimmy Buffett is one of the few singers who can also write. Or maybe he's one of the few writers who can actually sing. Either way, he allows to the reader and listener into a sunny world filled with offbeat characters and humor.
This collection of autobiography and fiction is easygoing and a pleasure to read. It is filled with tales of wanderers and the places they wander to. For fans of his music, there are various references to his songs (particularly off of "Off to See the Lizard). But even for the non-musical fan, this book is still worth reading.
To escape from the grind of the real world, sit back and read a story or two from this book. It'll make things a little better.

Summary: Okay, so you know the song... now read the stories!
Comment: Margaritaville is Jimmy Buffett's biggest hit, and if your knowledge of him ends there, that's okay. This book of short stories, some fiction, some autobiographical, is excellent tropical escapism at its finest. Love, triumph, coming-of-age, you can almost pick the archetype, and in one way or another, he addresses it with a magnificent cast of characters, from the bizarre friends in our own neighborhoods, to good-natured scoundrels we'd love to emulate if we could, to the girl next door we wish we could reconnect with.
Buffett's descriptive style is reminiscent of Garrison Keillor's Lake Wobegon books, and it works so well, you can almost see exactly where the characters are walking to in their towns, smell the aromas, hear the townspeople in the street, etc. Rumor has it that a studio optioned the book... I can't wait to see the movie!
