About this listen
Poco Bueno is the story of every man’s fantasy - escaping the life-numbing prison of his nine-to-five existence. Stokes is a 31-year-old executive in the lucrative Texas oil business. His marriage to the boss’ daughter is on the skids, and his true love - an over-restored 70-foot Hatteras fishing yacht - has him panicking in debt.
Following his heart and the naked truth of his fun-loving boat captain and sidekick JP, the two fishing buddies throw caution to the wind and head out on a quest for genuine adventure and meaning. Like the ever-churning margarita blender onboard the boat, Poco Bueno serves up a potent mix of 30-something male angst, bikini-clad willful women, testosterone-fueled antics, and off-the-charts fishing.
Based on the very private, but oh-so-real, million-dollar Port O’Connor Offshore Invitational Fishing Tournament held off the coast of Texas, this book might very well be the next great American Western, albeit a watery one! Yes, this is a novel about fishing - fishing in one of its most savage and primordial forms - but it is really a story about the ultimate inevitability of what life serves up and our ability to eat well at the feast.

Story
On a foggy summer night, 11 people - 10 privileged, one down-on-his-luck painter - depart Martha's Vineyard on a private jet headed for New York. Sixteen minutes later, the unthinkable happens: The plane plunges into the ocean. The only survivors are the painter Scott Burroughs and a four-year-old boy, who is now the last remaining member of an immensely wealthy and powerful media mogul's family. Was it by chance that so many influential people perished? Or was something more sinister at work?

Story
A poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, The Sun Also Rises introduces two of Hemingway’s most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. In his first great literary masterpiece, Hemingway portrays an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions.

This is a fun read, especially if you have been deep water fishing. It is a very good portrayal of the excitement of the sport, plus some good drama. And very well written.

A Must Listen
Wow, what a great audio book. I loved the narrator’s voice for all the characters. One of the best audio voices I’ve experienced. I read this book a few years ago and loved it, but to listen to the narrator read it added a whole new level of enjoyment to the story. I didn’t want to stop listening, except to mix up a big cocktail before jumping back in.
The story is awesome. All the great literary conflicts are woven in seamlessly. Man vs self, man vs man, man vs nature and Man vs fish.
It’s a fast running tale of friendship, beautiful women, rich Texas oil men, big boats, tasty booze, and one big F*cking fish. These are a few of my favorite things. It would make an awesome beach listen/read for just about anyone (over eighteen, or maybe fourteen)
The author’s description of things is perfect, I felt like I was in a big cool fishing boat with my good buddies having the time of my life.
This reads like a modern version of Hemingway’s “The Sun Also Rises” but with fishing replacing the bull fighting.
I’m not sure what the audible equivalent of a real page turner is, but this has to be it!
Did I mention that I really loved this book?
Enjoy..
