Product Description:
Best-selling writer Jimmy Buffett weaves an irresistible new tale---filled with colorful characters, wry humor, and the pursuit of a very clever pig.
When Southern belle Ellie McBride moves her twins from Vertigo, Tennessee to New York City, they wouldn't dream of leaving behind the family pig Rumpy. But the posh hotel where Ellie has found work (and living space) has "No Pets" writ large on its portal. So hiding Rumpy from the hotel staff---especially the ultra-carnivorous hotel chef, who would like nothing better than to transform their pet into pork roast---becomes imperative.

Less is more.
The concept of a pig and his 12-year old buddy narrating a story is darling -- yes, I said darling (see 'precious') -- but even Jimmie Buffett can't stretch it into a novel. As it goes on and on and on, the story drags and the villain, Monsieur Boucher, becomes plain annoying.
Jimmie Buffett admits up front that a friend brought him a delightful 25-page story about a pig living in a 4-star hotel. He should have left it alone. At 25 pages, it was undoubtedly ... Read More
