Jimmy Buffett Vol. 1 : The Man From Margaritaville Revealed

Rating:
Summary: He should have listened to Jimmy
Review: This book begins with a letter from Jimmy Buffett where he asks Eng to not undertake this project. As a Parrothead, I enjoy hearing about the life of Jimmy Buffett. But, as Jimmy stated in his letter, if anyone is going tell his story, it should be him. Eng's writing style is, to sum it up in a word, boring. It was a chore to read and I filed it away after reading only 60 pages. Let Jimmy tell his own story and don't waste your money.

Summary: Can't Believe I Hate a Buffett Book
Review: This book is downright awful. Let me warn you - stay away. I agree with the other reviews. There are detailed facts about things totally unrelated to Jimmy Buffett or even the point that the author is trying to make. I guess if you took out all of the irrelevant lines, the book would be only 20 pages of nothing new.
*You have been warned*

Summary: Don't waste your time
Review: This is one of the most poorly-researched and writtenbiographies I have ever read. As a longtime Parrothead and journalist,I find this book particularly offensive. It is clear from the outset that the author did not have the cooperation of Buffett, which would have been fine had he compensated by putting some extra effort into his research. Instead, you are deluged with trivial anecdotes and insignificant quotes from marginal figures in Jimmy's life. Most Buffett fans will already know most of the pertinent information in this book, so it is just not worth the time and supreme effort it takes to read it.

Summary: I'd Rather Read The Back of Cereal Boxes
Review: What a terrible book. The only part I enjoyed is the rejection letter from Jimmy. As one person had mentioned in another review, you need a notepad to follow the timelines and half-a**ed assumptions in this work. Please save your money, and support Jimmy in his rejection of this work.
