Pros Relaxing, interesting read.
Cons None

There's no pressing need to read it all at... Read full review »

You can sit back and relax and almost hear his southern drawl weaving yarns at a seaside table with a best buddy as you read "A Pirate Looks At 50". Honest looks back at his mistakes and his successes... Read full review »

Yes, that pretty much sums up this book. However, there were a few adventures, or misadventures, as it were, along the way... Read full review »
