Herman Wouk - Don't Stop The Carnival - 1965



Very good author that gets over looked. Some nice light reading after that nasty Holocaust thing. Story of a successful New Yorker handles his mid-life crisis by buying a restaurant/bar on a Carribean island. He actually gets conned into it by some rich business man friend. Relocates with his wife, not knowing the first thing about island life or the owning of a business. All hell breaks loose in a comical way as the poor guy fights his way through the obstacles. This book was made into a stage production with the help of Jimmy Buffett who also wrote the music for it. Guess they became close friends after Jimmy read his book. Jimmy went on to write his own books including A Pirate Looks At Fifty which this book reminds me of.

Grade - A

next up - House Of Bush, House Of Saud by Craig Unger
