Did not enjoy this book, even though it a life experience of his island life that certainly is not paradise. This author likes to hear himself talk. It was a struggle getting through it. We read it in one of my book clubs, 2 out of 6 laughed through the whole thing, loved his sense of humor the rest of us did not care for his style of writing.

The Virgin River series is wonderful. I love how she continues to add new characters while weaving it in with the characters from the previous book. I live in Chico, I know the area she describes, they make my heart sing.
