“There is no reverse on the road of life, Tully. You just keep moving forward, and every now and then you try to catch a little neutral.”
—————————————————
I will start off by saying this book wasn’t bad. I went through waves of being invested in the story and wanting it to be over already. I do not feel it had to be nearly 500 pages long. It definitely could have done the job while being 300-350 pages. There was a lot going on in this book. One second you were following Tully, next thing you know some person he meets is giving them their life story that is 5 pages long. This happened multiple times. It took me nearly three weeks to get through it. The book also bounced around a lot with timeline, you are in the future then in the past then the present, and then someone is sharing some long winded story and confuses you even more. This was my first Jimmy Buffett book, I am obviously a fan of the music. Overall, this book was very average and I am honestly glad it’s finally over.

The man can tell a story in a 4 minute song, imagine what he can do with 400 pages in a book.

Enjoyed It
This is the most Jimmy Buffett book if I've ever read one. Had I not known Jimmy wrote it, I would've thought it was a book he would've like to have written.
If you're a fan of Jimmy's music, then this book will honestly read like a long-winded Jimmy Buffett song. It has everything you'd expect: Adventure, Cheeseburgers, Island Life, Running from the law, a diverse and cooky cast of characters, horse on a boat, lighthouses, drinking, sun, love, etc.
Is this is most amazing book written? No. Is this going to be my favorite of the year? No. Was it a wild ride that kept me entertained the whole time wanting to know where Tully's life was going to take him next? Absolutely! It was such a fun read and it was about absolutely noting and absolutely everything at the same time. It's an action-adventure book if I've ever read one and I liked it a lot.
James Fouhey narrated it and, honestly, that's how I found the book on Libby. James' voice always does something to me and I love it so much, so I'll randomly search his name and find something to listen to. I've discovered so many wonderful books that I've loved that were outside my normal reads because of him.

Jimmy Buffett should stick to song writing... I had high hopes for this but it was hell to get through.
Love his music, hate his literature.
