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.)

It's the novel in which the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of such acclaimed and best-selling novels as The Caine Mutiny and War and Remembrance draws on his own experience (Wouk and his family lived for seven years on an island in the sun) to tell a story at once brilliantly comic and deeply moving.

An easy listen that follows the misadventures of New Yorker, Norman Paperman, who tries to follow his dream and run a Caribbean resort. Caos and a cast of crazy characters keep the story moving along. A good book from a great author.

Wouk was a master of human relationships.

Well written. Well narrated. An often overlooked Wouk masterpiece. Even more entertaining than my other favorite Wouk classic City Boy.

Throughly enjoyable!

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.

The main character was impulsive and foolish to the very end. Very frustrating to read if you admire people who think through decisions and make logical decisions. Everything that could go wrong goes wrong, but it's not humorous antics. And just when it goes right, it ends.

Don't expect The Caine Mutiny

Life changing, makes me want to become an ad man in New York. Glad it’s finally on Audible.

although it is a fictional name the island of Amerigo if you've been to any of the US Virgin Islands you will totally understand and be able to relate to the culture. it doesn't take long to figure out that Norman did not have any background knowledge before opening the hotel.

If you are familiar with the USVI, you get it.

I guess this was not what I expected based on other reviews. I found it pretty dry and depressing.

Not my idea of funny.

I got this book because Jimmy Buffet was a big fan and even created a show based on Norman Paperman and his struggles of purchasing the Caribbean resort

The story telling

A comedic triumph from one of America’s best authors. People and places never really change, sometimes.
