 Wild and charming! Dec 01, 2008
By Bayou Child
If you've not yet been exposed to the humor of Miss Mermaid, then you're in for a treat! This wild and whacky selection of her tales from the Caribbean will have you rolling on the floor laughing! Meet a host of unique, intriguing characters... Jungle Jim who advertises outings with his "Charter the Derelict!" cards... Da-Fema-Mon, flummoxed by islanders' lack of addresses, house numbers, shoes, and other hilarious irregularities, finally gives up and goes total island bonkers... Grace Klutz, a wild and whacky import... and numerous other delightful, colorful folks who bring you miles of smiles... Well, as the author says, "Mon, d'is island life be something different!" And so it is! For a fun read, with a dose of bawdiness and badness, take a sip of Miss Mermaid's little island masterpiece. You won't regret it!

 A great read Mar 29, 2010
By A. D. Blokland
"ADB45"
Thoroughly enjoyed the mad and racy world of the BVI, which is so completely different from the so-called urbane and civilised world of the big cities - whether they be in the UK or the US. Living in an island myself, I can almost identify with the irreverent and nearly lawless nature of the BVI. Characters are larger than life and well depicted. Be prepared to chuckle regularly!

Come to the BVI, Mon May 26, 2011
By Dinghy Cap'n Jack
If you have been to the BVI you will roll with laughter. It's sure to include some familiar memories. If you haven't been to the BVI, get with it!You will still be laughing out loud! Read this book and you won't be able to resist going. If you can't visit the Caribbean, read this book and you'll wish you could. This is laid back living,mon!
Buy this book and save a mermaid.

If you love the crazy caribbean, you'll love this. Apr 28, 2011
By thinkjeffthink
In my travels in the caribbean, I've met crazy people and had some even crazier experiences. This book makes me miss those times more than anything I've ever read. Really fun. Silly. A slice of reality (in the Caribbean sense). It's like taking a vacation from home.
Now, is the writing the sharpest I've ever read? No. But so what?! The stories are so great, the setting so spectacular, it makes for a satisfying read.

I'll be searching for this Mermaid! Jan 30, 2011
By JackB62
I am in love with the Caribbean and have visited often.
This book makes me want to move there and become part
of the island life.
Dear Miss Mermaid was brave enough to set out to the
islands on her own and live the lifestyle. I'm jealous
that I probably don't have her guts, but she allowed
me to read and feel her mostly humorous adventures.
Dear Miss Mermaid:"Please write more." This is the perfect
Caribbean cruise read.
