This was a book on the clearance rack at Borders. I haven't read any others by Jimmy Buffet, though I want to. This one sounded like it would be funny and quirky. I mean, a pig in a upscale NYC hotel?

Well, it didn't really live up to expectations. I'm not quite sure why I didn't like it more - maybe it was too superficial. Maybe it felt a little like "and the kitchen sink" plotting after a while. Maybe I just couldn't suspend my disbelief enough (which is a big problem for a book, since I read a lot of science fiction).… (mais)

An entertaining quick to read novel. My impression is that it’s more of a YA novel but it’s Jimmy Buffett so it’s entertaining. My daughter has two small pigs and Jimmy’s depiction of their thoughts seems to fit what I have observed.

This is an entertaining and thought provoking read that is a vast departure from his "Where is Joe Merchant" novel.

It is a quick read but will leave you both warm hearted and thoughtful about what it means to find a place where you belong and what "home" means.… (mais)
