Reviews
"It's great fun...You'll feel as if you're somewhere else -- a place where a swim in cool water and a breakfast of banana pancakes with coconut syrup will cure any hangover."-- Lynn Andriani , People, "An entertaining Caribbean romp...The twists and turns of Buffett's characters make this book a brisk page-turner."-- Steve Morse , Boston Globe, "It goes down like a pina colada: smooth and sweet."-- Michael Harris , Los Angeles Times Book Review
Synopsis
Wander to "where the song of the ocean / Meets the salty piece of land" with Tully Mars, washed up from Margaritaville and in the mood for monkeyshines, in a shimmering Caribbean epic by the late king of tropical rock, Jimmy Buffett. It's not on any chart, but the tropical island of Cayo Loco is the perfect place to run away from all your problems. Waking from a ganja buzz on the beach in Tulum, Tully can't believe his eyes when a 142-foot schooner emerges out of the ocean mist. At its helm is Cleopatra Highbourne, the eccentric 101-year-old sea captain who will take him to a lighthouse on a salty piece of land that will change his life forever. From a lovely sunset sail in Punta Margarita to a wild spring-break foam party in San Pedro, Tully encounters an assortment of treasure hunters, rock stars, sailors, seaplane pilots, pirates, and even a ghost or two., In his biggest and bestselling novel yet, master storyteller Jimmy Buffett weaves a mesmerising tale that combines humour and emotional reflection. After all, one man's cathedral is another man's fishing hole. And in Jimmy Buffett's world, paradise is jus

  • A cowboy's escape.

    Well, I just finished A Salty Piece of Land at 3:58 am cst. Jimmy said it best in the Afterward portion of the book "We dont just enjoy escapism-we NEED it. I consider myself a cowboy. I raise and ride American Quarter horses and at this time have fourteen of them to ride and feed. I first found escapism on the back a horse. Now I have found it again in Jimmy's books. Tully Mars rides lifes waves good and bad with a sense of adventure that takes him to the far away places that I have longed to be. He learns not only to enjoy the adventure but the ride as well. I beleive after reading this book I will stop looking back on my past with regret but as my own adventure. Whether it's own my horse, curled up to a good book, or just sitting on my back patio with a cold beer at the end of the day, ...

  • A magical story of fact, fiction and adventure.

    Jimmy Buffett is a master storyteller. He weaves stories inside stories. This is a very easy reading book that transports you to a tropical place where you loose yourself in the adventures and tales of these fictional people and places. I recommend it to everyone.

  • Great Reading!
