This book is essentially a compilation of testimonials and witicisms written by the patrons of the Port Jefferson Ferry, most of whom are treated rudely by the obnoxious ferry staff. Bob was an exception. However, the book is more style than substance. You can't even really call this a book. There are very few insights into the life of a ferry bartender nor are there any comments on the people who left their thoughts. You can read it in fifteen minutes. On a positive note there are quite a few drink recipes from Bob. Use it as a reference for making cocktails. Cheers!

The workaday ramblings of a blue collar Piano-Man-wannabe Long Island ferry bartender. While not as awful as any Amy Fisher or Joey Buttafucco drivel, it doesn't really excite. I was reminded of the sheer tedium of these ferry rides from my read. I was disappointed by the lack of mention of the bartender's having served and talked to Jeffery Dahmer on one trip, which was mentioned in his website. Including this anecdote might have added 2x the level of excitement to the stories.
