Title: Disappointing
Product review: I like Jimmy Buffett - I really do; and I wanted to like his book, Where is Joe Merchant? Unfortunately, the book wasn't very good. The plot was labored and the story itself did not hold my interest. It was not a good sign when midway through the book I couldn't care less if they found Joe Merchant or not. (The search for an allegedly deceased pop who is regularly sighted? Where have I seen THAT headline before?)While the hero, Frank Brown's mis-adventures were mildly entertaining, and the sly allusions to characters in old Buffett songs was clever, it was not enough for me give it a higher rating. As other reviewers have mentioned, perhaps Jimmy was trying too hard. Buffett's first effort at writing is by far the better book.
