Jimmy Buffett: The Man from Margaritaville Revealed Reviews:
Very well written, researched. 
2005-10-04 - I found this book to be superb. Buffett did not like it being written.
However, it is very well written and full of interesting facts.
Did you know that Hugh Taylor and Alex Taylor and not just James Taylor contributed to the "Volcano" album?
Did you know that Bob Mercer, the President of the now defunct Margaritaville Records is married to Margie, Jimmy Buffett's ex-wife?
A very interesting and informative book. Don't listen to these sheep who reject it only because Mr. Buffett did not like Steve Eng writing it.
Can't Believe I Hate a Buffett Book 
2001-09-24 - 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*
Cheap Imitation
1999-08-06 - Eng has a lot of facts about the life of Jimmy Buffett but that's about all. Those of us who have been fans of his since the very beginning already knew most of them. Too much rambling speculation about Jimmy's possible ancestors. Eng does not have near the writing talent that Jimmy does so he should not have done this bio. His motivation seems to be celebrity and riches. If you want to read a really good book about the life of Jimmy Buffet up to age 50, "A Pirate Looks at Fifty" is the best book I have read in many years. But what would else would we expect from a master storyteller?
Tough Reading
1999-04-20 - I found the book very confusing. The author leaps from past pirate adventures to modern day Jimmy Buffett and back. I have had this book for over a year and have not been able to get past page 50. When Jimmy urges Mr. Eng not to continue the book, I think it was more for the reader's sake and not for his own. Fins Up!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
