Product Description
Margaritaville may not appear on a map, but it does exist--at least in the brilliantly creative, sometimes slightly skewed imagination of Jimmy Buffett. Tales from Margaritaville is a collection of short stories (some purely fiction, some based in truth) so vividly packed with restless dreamers, wild wanderers, and pure gypsy souls that just reading it is a wild adventure. Travel along with a cowboy named Tully Mars, as he heads from Heartache, Wyoming, to Graceland, and relive the autobiographical odyssey of a third-generation sailor and first-rate musical outlaw. With unforgettable stories that present the true roamer's twin loves--the sea and the road--Tales from Margaritaville is one "smooth sailing book of infinite imagination" (Chicago Sun-Times).

 Sheer Vacation Fun September 20, 2008
I am a high school English teacher, so I spend the year functioning on a high literary level, teaching the kids to see and understand metaphor and imagery. I read this this book over the summer, and, like Buffet's others, it has imagery and metaphor. The difference is that the book is sheer fun to read. Buffet pulls you away on a Caribbean holiday. While reading Margaritaville, I longed for island vacations I've enjoyed. As the man wrote, I wish I was sailing again.

if you are expecting deep thoughts and thoughtful prose, close the cover! Jimmy breathes his homespun, key-lime pie and cool breeze style to a cast of delightful characters and enchanting settings. Fun to read!
fantastic story teller March 9, 2007

Jimmy Buffett is a fantastic story teller and I love his books and songs. He is a complete entertainer, I haven't yet seen any of his concerts due to they a very pricey. The price is usually a lot out of my price range but I have a lot of his tapes and CDS. I have a cassette deck in two vehicles and a CD player in the other, so I have his music in two forms.
 bad book February 9, 2007

First of all, I love Jimmy Buffett. I've been to a bunch of concerts, and I am a big Parrot Head. But Jimmy Is a lousy writer. I mean, his writing skills are simply terrible. I felt like I was reading a book written by a 12 year old. Not only that, but the story line is terrible. I know other Parrot heads will tear me apart over this review, but honestly the man can't write. Sorry Jimmy and friends.
