If Tully Mars had known what he had gotten himself into when he agreed to help find the lost lens belonging to the lighthouse on Cayo Loco-well, he might never had agreed to help in the first place. Then again, maybe he would just have taken a slightly longer nap before setting off on his wild adventure. And it isn't just Tully-who Buffett fans will remember well from Jimmy's bestselling Tales from Margaritaville-on the madcap quest. There's Ix-Nay, an Indian shaman with a dislike of the media; Mr. Twain, Tully's loyal steed; Cleopatra Highbourne, the 102-year-old owner of Cayo Loco and Cuban baseball addict; Captain Kirk, fishing trip leader and boatman extraordinaire; former country music star Sean Spurl-AKA Tex Sex; Bucky Norman, a Wyoming cowboy who has found his way to the ocean; and even a fellow named Jimmy Buffett, who decides he might as well join in on the party. Raucous, funny, and wise with the world's strangeness, A SALTY PIECE OF LAND is the best and bestselling novel yet from one of America's most beloved storytellers.

Being a fan of Mr. Buffett's music I had reservations about his ability to write an entire novel. I was very pleasantly surprised! It is extremely hard to put the book down once you start. He leads you down a path of bizarre events and gets into situations that are truly unbelievable and makes you believe it all. You can visualize everything he is saying. Just about the time it cannot get any crazier, he says something very profound that applies to real life situations and makes you stop and think. Now, I want to sail aboard Lucretia with Capt. Cleopatra. I most definitely want to visit Cayo Loco. I have now purchased every book he has written & will read them all. With the situation of the world today, we need all the entertainment we can get. Keep up the good work, Jimmy!!

Cheesy Burgers in Paradise
A Montana cowboy drifts around the Carribean meeting all sorts of cool people with wonderful life stories. He trips into dream job after dream job, parties with millionaires who inexplicably keep giving him things (boats, mansions, etc.) and hooks up with gorgeous, rich women who find him irresistable. For Buffett, there is no dark side to paradise--only good times and good vibrations. This theme might be entertaining in a three minute song, but it grates in a full length novel. Skip this one and read something by Hiaasen-- a writer who has a more realistic, funny and sarcastic view of "Magaritaville."
