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.

 Disappointed July 15, 2008

I bought this book without a second thought based on how much I enjoyed Buffett's other books. What a disappointment. This is a childrens book and nothing like his prior books. I will not buy his books again without checking the reviews first.

Bad. Bad. Bad. Bad. Painfully bad.
This is the same man that created "A Pirate Looks at Forty" and "Death of an Unpopular Poet"? Please, lock up his word processor and send him out fishing.
 Bought for my huband July 3, 2008
I purchased this book for my husband for Father's Day. He's a big Jimmy Buffett fan and has read most of his other books. I'm not sure if he's finished this one yet.
 Perfect Gift for a Parrotthead June 27, 2008
Love this book; lots of fun; another great book by the infamous Jimmy Buffett! You will enjoy it, and it's a perfect gift for your favorite Parrotthead!
Jimmy, I love ya, but.... June 26, 2008
I was not born a parrothead. Did I like Jimmy's songs? Yes, but I didn't live by them. I became a convert when my 4 year old daughters fell in love with him a couple years ago and I did a little research on their behalf. I didn't know about the books. Then I read one, and another, and another. Jimmy is an awesome writer. A true storyteller that comes along once in a lifetime who happens to have the heart of a poet.
My guage of a good book is not being able to put it down - even when I have to. I could put this one down. I liked Swine Not. It's fun and silly, but I like Jimmy's other efforts much better. If this had been the first Buffett book I read, I likely wouldn't have tried another.
