ReviewsJimmy Buffett "has gregarious charm . . . and a bottomless well of stories to tell. . . . Reading A PIRATE LOOKS AT FIFTY is like sitting with Buffett at a beachside bar, listening to him spin tales . . . discourse on life and share nifty bits of geography and history." --Time "Fulfilling his peripatetic pirate lifestyle fantasies, rocker Jimmy Buffett took his family on a three-week trek around the Caribbean in celebration of his 50th. His colorful travelogue is interspersed with memoirs of his youth and music career--both of which revolve around his continuing search for the perfect fishing spot. But Buffett also imparts useful understandings gained from childhood through parenthood, and a valuable account of what it was like growing up in the '50s." --USA Today "The fun-loving Man from Margaritaville parses his hell-bent half-century." --People "Some of the funniest travel writing since Mark Twain went off following the equator . . . This man does know how to have fun. So it shouldn't surprise anybody that he'd turn fifty in his own inimitable fashion." --The Arizona Daily Star From the Paperback edition., Jimmy Buffett "has gregarious charm . . . and a bottomless well of stories to tell. . . .
