Summary: PIRATE LOOKING AT FIFTY IS HOPEFULLY LOOKING AT MORE WRITING
Comment: This book is my absolute favorite book of any book that I've ever read! It provides insite into the past of the PARROTHEAD KING himself - JIMMY BUFFETT! This book is about how JIMMY BUFFETT celebrates his fiftieth birthday with a three-week trip around the Caribbean Sea with his family and some friends. In between his expeditions, JIMMY tells stories from when he was younger. He tells of his life with stories told to him by his family, and with experiences that he'll never forget . . . nor will you after reading this incredible book! Through this book, you'll learn about the real JIMMY BUFFETT, and what got him to the fame and popularity that will endure forever! He writes with unbelievable descriptions of the places that he's been to, and with a great amount of feeling. His incredible sense of humor is exemplified perfectly in this book and, you'll find yourself wishing you had the life of which he speaks. I highly recommend this book to adults who want to getaway from the humdrum of their ordinary and busy lives, and especially to PARROTHEADS! If you haven't read this book, you're missing out on one of the greatest mixes of autobiography and fiction (meaning the stories he tells) that will ever exist!

Summary: The Head Parrot's life from his own point of view...
Comment: Long overdue, but well worth the wait, this auto-biographical journey can't help but grab the reader and bring him or her along. As a fan of Jimmy Buffett, it was a welcome change to have some of his experiences and adventures written and commented on by him, and not an outside, opinionated individual. The chapters are short, which makes fitting one in during little breaks in your daily schedule easy to do. Even without singing his signature "escapism" music, Jimmy has found a way to take you "away form it all". He has a friendly, infectuous writing style that makes you feel as if you are aboard his plane, listening to him tell you a bit of history of how he got to where he is now. I am not big fishing fan, in fact, I do not enjoy fishing at all. Jimmy, however discusses his fishing trips throughout the book. On several occasions, I felt as if I was there on the boat, watching it all unfold...and I was enjoying myself! Though he gives only the information and insight he wants the reader to have, it was enough for the fans to understand where he was and what his mind was on during certain points of his recording career. Now, some songs I have loved for years take on additional depth because I know a bit of what was behind some lyrical and musical changes. Jimmy's sense of humor plays a big part in this book. He has fun, and takes his fun seriously. An enjoyable read, even for those who are not Buffet fans. Now...if Jimmy could just write a follow up to "Where Is Joe Merchant?", so I could find out what the heck happens...

Summary: Another Caribbean Soul
Comment: I first read this book on my honeymoon on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, and it has truly inspired me. A fellow sailor from childhood, I had lost touch with my ties to Mother Ocean as I pursued a career in engineering that was successful by conventional standards but left me feeling like something was missing. This book reminded me what it was. Jimmy Buffett is an incredible storyteller, and has lived a life many (like me) only dream of. He makes you want to visit each and every place he describes. Some may claim that this book does not deserve 5 stars because it is not a literary masterpiece, and if you want a literary masterpiece, this book is not for you. If you are looking for an enjoyable vacation read, or for inspiration to truly live life instead of following the status quo, then this is a 5-star book for you!
