KEY WEST Part II eBook Jon Breakfield
I bought this (and Key West also by Breakfield) as research for a book I am writing. I loved this book. After only a few pages I forgot that I was doing research and just read it for absolute pleasure. Since I know Key West pretty well, I grinned and giggled as I read through. If you like Key West as much as I do, you will enjoy reading it. Now I'm reading my copy of the fiction (semi-true story) by Jon Breakfield, "Death by Key West" that I purchased from "Popcorn Joe".Product details

KEY WEST Part II eBook Jon Breakfield Reviews
I enjoyed Key West part I a lot more than Key West part II. Too much of this book is filled with "Did you know this fact or that fact about Key West and the Florida Keys?". Because of that the story is very disjointed and I never really got into it. But I'm sure many people will like this book if you enjoy those types of facts. His first book though had a good storyline and kept my interest, I do recommend reading part I.
I'm putting my dobber down .... This quirky sequel to Jon and Gabrielle's first year in Key West (she as an illegal immigrant for much of it LOL) is a great read.The imagery from the narrative is 3D and as vivid as it gets. It is the most hilarious travelogue I've read yet.
So much better than the first book. Very refreshing. A great way to put depression out the window. Only problem was it should have had photos of the people and places he described in fantastic Key West. I only hope he continues the books of their living in Key West.
Good, but nowhere near the fun of its predecessor!
Getting to know the quirky characters and places in Key West made Breakfield's 'Tequila, a Pinch of Salt, etc." a delight. Part II was an interesting follow-up, but I really missed the exciting and enchanting voyage of discovery that made the first book so appealing.
We read the first book, I wanted to get the second one for my boyfriend. It's always been his fantasy to retire in the Keys someday. I think the writer has a wonderful style and great sense of humor. We appreciate being able to continue sharing in his Key West adventures.
As a book it is sadly not as good as the first volume. It reads more like a disconnected series of anecdotes and guidebook entries, however if you love Key West and the quirky characters who live there then you'll still want to read it. I wanted to give it a better review, because I can relate to the life that the author and his wife have chosen and the bravery they had to turn down a 9-5 life in Scotland. Would I buy the book again, knowing what I know now? Probably, especially if it were a cold gray winter day and I needed the scent of Jasmine and a fruity rum punch to put life in perspective.
Actually 2 1/2 stars.
After the first book this one is sorely lacking.
It rings of an author piggy-backing off a previously successful work and trying to cash in. This volume is full of filler and non-Key West material.
The volume reads like this,
First 1/3 much recap of previous book, feels like he ran out of material from the 1st book and now had to juggle for the 2nd.
2nd 1/3 boring filler, i.e. (paraphrased) riding our bikes... there's Margaritaville, great burgers, you must go here, there's Fat Tuesday, hot waitress, great banana smoothie...you must go here... straight up advertising for many current businesses. Had the feel to me that the author went around town and said for this much cash you'll get a great ad in my book. I don't have any evidence that this is what happened, I'm not saying that's what happened, I'm saying that's what it felt like to me.
3 1/3 back to the style of the first book and interesting again.
There are still some very funny stories and anecdotes in the volume. I would recommend...read the 1st book and don't expect much from the this one. Or DON'T read the first book and JUST read this one.
I bought this (and Key West also by Breakfield) as research for a book I am writing. I loved this book. After only a few pages I forgot that I was doing research and just read it for absolute pleasure. Since I know Key West pretty well, I grinned and giggled as I read through. If you like Key West as much as I do, you will enjoy reading it. Now I'm reading my copy of the fiction (semi-true story) by Jon Breakfield, "Death by Key West" that I purchased from "Popcorn Joe".
