A Salty Piece of Land Review

Post by phjim »

The Rocky Mountain News has a review of Buffett's new booK: Escape to Buffett's 'Salty' land
http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/b ... 81,00.html

With his wit, humor and knack for telling a good yarn, Buffett manages to deliver another salty piece of life in the tropics to his fans.

Has anyone ele read thebook yet? Somehow, and I don't know how, I already have the book. It is pretty good. Honestly, I preferred Joe Merchant, but I still have enjoyed this book. I'm almost done with it and I won't give any details cause I don't want to spoil anything for anyone.

Notice that the review is under FIRST TIME Novelists?

Hmmm

Wonder what they filed Joe Merchant under... I know, I know - Tales created a whole new category: Fictional Facts - that's where ol' Joe is living these days....

two trips to the tropics

I’ve been reading A Salty Piece of Land and enjoying it. It’s an easy going, laid-back tropical tale, just what you’d expect from JB.
Though I’m only about a third of the way through, the most striking thing for me so far is the strong similarity to Key Weird. And I don’t say that just because I’m the one in charge of publicity and distribution for Key Weird (okay, maybe a little), because the two stories really do have a lot in common.

still reading,
