A Salty Piece of Land (Abridged) Audiobook

" this is a great summer read! i really enjoyed all the stories that were all woven together and of course the setting of the book is amazing. i finished it in the perfect place...on the beach! "

" Another good book, but Tales and Pirate's was better. "

" This is one of Jimmy's best! A trip with Sully Mars was exactly what I needed to escape from the holiday stress and cold weather! Not great literature maybe, but a lot of fun! "

" wonderful story telling. i had no idea jimmy buffett was such a good writer until i read this "

" This is a really wonderful adventure story, but there are some slow spots. It took me over three months to read. "

" Quirky and cute...exactly what I would expect from Buffett. Perfect "brain candy" read. "

" This was a fun book to read... A good story teller. Never read any of his before. I am glad I did. "

" funny,rambling, free-wheeling story. Great characters. also about lighthouses, for which I have a liking. "

" this was a fun book to listen to. Jimmy Buffet isn't necessarily the best writer out there but he is a good storyteller. "

" Hated it. Very seldom do I stop reading a book in the middle, but I couldn't finish this atrocity. "

" Fantastic escape book I've been spending my Trax rides in the tropics! "

" Best $1 book ever! "

" Great fun read and love the idea of getting (running) away to an island-living simply. Buffett has a way with words-should have known with his music. I will be hunting (yard sales) for his other books. "

" Great characters. Fun read. "

" We all know the musical talented artist... But his books are great interesting reads just like his music. :) "

" The best of his fiction. This is a really good read. "

" Sophomoric... felt as if he plagiarized Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea". "

" Great beach read since the setting is in the tropics. Also easy stopping and restarting since each chapter stands on its own. "

" I have read three books by Jimmy and they are all different. This would sit in the middle as far as quality of writing. The store fits with the myths created by his music. Summer reading. "

" researched the Bahamas and lighthouse preservation society after reading "

" This book was given to me to read and it is truly worth reading. You find yourself being drifted away on a sailing ship, feeling the waves wash you to a new found paradise. Great vacation read! "

" This book is worth the price and you will learn something as well as having the pleasure of a great adventure. If you are a Buffett fan, this book is a must! If you need a vacation to the Caribbean this book is your ticket. "

" This was my first Jimmy Buffett novel and I was impressed. The book traveled all over many different tropical locations and made me miss the beach. Good read! "

" Another audio book. This was a little shorter than some so easily completed driving across Nebraska. "

" A wonderful slight of the writers hand, take us on a marvelous voyage to fantasy turned reality. "

" Always a good read by Jimmy Buffett "

" I enjoyed the book, but it took me a long time to read it. It's pretty slow moving so I would get a little bored and stop reading for a while. Once I was about 1/2 way through it picked up. "

" Different than my usual read. Fun and lighter, made me sad a bit as I read some of the social dynamics. "

" Heavens I loved this book, and the song. But Jimmy Buffett reads so well you can almost hear him in your head telling you the tale over a Margarita or a Hurricane at a Key West bar. "

" I knew he could sing and write songs, but he's a bloody good yarn spinner, as well. Very entertaining. "

" who knew Buffet could write??? Much like his musical style, he's laid back and invites you to accompany him with nothing but your imagination and a desire to enjoy. Endearing but varied characters, scattered over wondrous locales.might leave you saying "our/write me another one"!y "

" Another audio book. This was a little shorter than some so easily completed driving across Nebraska. "

" A good beach read. Not overly exciting but the characters are very likeable and the relationships between the main characters are genuine. Makes you want a tropical vacation...NOW! "

" Loved it, a cowboy as a fishing guide =) "

" A great summer read. Nothing like a story set in the caribbean. Buffet does a great job with story and characters. "

" It wasnt a great piece of american literature but....it was a fun book. I enjoyed it and couldnt wait to see which island he was going to visit next. I loved his descriptions of the islands. "

" A great read for people with Wonderlust. I enjoyed the characters in the book. Quick and easy read. "

" wonderful story telling. i had no idea jimmy buffett was such a good writer until i read this "

" A beautifully crafted tale of an ex-patriot who unwittingly sails into adventure, while trying to escape from bounty hunters. A laid-back tale by an author/songwriter who invented the very phrase "laid-back". "

" I wish I could give this book 10 starts! I loved it! It's funny, entertaining, touching and just a wonderful book. And it came with a free CD! What could be better! "

" This book was entertaining. The main character was likable, the locations he visited sounded pleasant. Some incidents in the book were too coincidental to be believable but it was an enjoyable read nonetheless. "

" this was a fun book to listen to. Jimmy Buffet isn't necessarily the best writer out there but he is a good storyteller. "

" This book was okay for me. I read it just because of Buffett. "

" Jimmy can write books as well as he can sing. His tales bring you right into the easy light of margaritaville, & keep you wiping away tears of laughter. "

" Gotta love a good beach read! "
