Fresh Fiction Review

A SALTY PIECE OF LAND
Jimmy Buffett

Reviewed by Morgan Chilson
Posted October 19, 2005

Literature and Fiction

Tully Mars is an ex-cowboy meandering through the tropics searching for . . . well, something. What he finds are unforgettable characters (you must meet Cleopatra Highbourne, a 101-year-old sea captain!), a few adventures, a few inspiring moments and don't forget the pirates, ghosts and bounty hunters!

The key to reading A SALTY PIECE OF LAND is to chain yourself to a chair, because you're going to want to go island-hopping. Like Buffett's music, this book will flow through you, enchanting your sense of adventure and inspiring a need to go meet wacky characters in the tropics. Seriously. A lot of fun.

SUMMARY

It's not on any chart, but the tropical island of Cayo Loco is the perfect place to run away from all your problems. If you're looking for a license to chill, come along as cowboy Tully Mars takes his pony to the shore-on an unforgettable Caribbean adventure as colorful and wonderfully bizarre as cocktail hour at your favorite expatriate bar. 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. 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 102-year-old sea captain who will take him to a lighthouse on a salty piece of land that will change his life forever.
