Story4.5 out of 5 stars 272
It's every parrothead's dream: to leave behind the rat race of the workaday world and start life all over again amidst the cool breezes, sun-drenched colors, and rum-laced drinks of a tropical paradise. It's the story of Norman Paperman, a New York City press agent who, facing the onset of middle age, runs away to a Caribbean island to reinvent himself as a hotel keeper. (Hilarity and disaster - of a sort peculiar to the tropics - ensue.)

Silly but Charming. Funny, Smart and Memorable.

Wasn’t sure what to expect having grown up a nearly religious fan of Jimmy Buffett and familiar with the soundtrack to the musical. Finally having time to hear the full story, I found truly amazing characterization and tales almost too crazy not to originate in someone’s truth. Timeless! I wish I had been able to see the musical adaptation in its’ time.
