Editorial Review:
Margaritaville may not appear on a map, but it does exist--at least in the brilliantly creative, sometimes slightly skewed imagination of Jimmy Buffett. Tales from Margaritaville is a collection of short stories (some purely fiction, some based in truth) so vividly packed with restless dreamers, wild wanderers, and pure gypsy souls that just reading it is a wild adventure. Travel along with a cowboy named Tully Mars, as he heads from Heartache, Wyoming, to Graceland, and relive the autobiographical odyssey of a third-generation sailor and first-rate musical outlaw. With unforgettable stories that present the true roamer's twin loves--the sea and the road--Tales from Margaritaville is one "smooth sailing book of infinite imagination" (Chicago Sun-Times).
Tales from Margaritaville Reviews:
Delightful read. 
2008-07-11 - Even if you are not a fan of his music, this is a neat little read. A number of years ago, a friend gave me this book..a going away present. Finally I read it. Now I regret not doing so much sooner. This is a wonderful, lighthearted read and sparks my faith that the art of writing short stories has been not lost. I must admit to being a Buffett fan, not a fanatic, but never-the-less, a fan. These stories just add spice to listening to his music. Mr. Buffett certainly has talent. His writing certainly show cases his free spirit and attitude. Wish there were more like him around. I would highly recommend this one for anyone looking for a good time reading and recommend it to anyone searching for a good bit of writing thrown in. Trust me, you will enjoy this one.
Buffett, Always entertaining and feel good
2007-03-29 - if you are expecting deep thoughts and thoughtful prose, close the cover! Jimmy breathes his homespun, key-lime pie and cool breeze style to a cast of delightful characters and enchanting settings. Fun to read!
fantastic story teller
2007-03-09 - Jimmy Buffett is a fantastic story teller and I love his books and songs. He is a complete entertainer, I haven't yet seen any of his concerts due to they a very pricey. The price is usually a lot out of my price range but I have a lot of his tapes and CDS. I have a cassette deck in two vehicles and a CD player in the other, so I have his music in two forms.
bad book 
2007-02-09 - First of all, I love Jimmy Buffett. I've been to a bunch of concerts, and I am a big Parrot Head. But Jimmy Is a lousy writer. I mean, his writing skills are simply terrible. I felt like I was reading a book written by a 12 year old. Not only that, but the story line is terrible. I know other Parrot heads will tear me apart over this review, but honestly the man can't write. Sorry Jimmy and friends.
