I loved this book! If you've been to Club Med or worked there, then this book is for you! My only complaint is that it's not long enough. Thanks for getting it right Padre...Greg, Canada

 

A couple of weeks ago a GM brought your book down and left it for me to read. Let me tell you, it took almost two weeks for me to pick it up again after I first started getting into it. I mean everything you wrote about, especially from a GO's perspective was so bang on. I didn't want to finish it cuz I didn't want to know how my season would end...An active GO who because of position, asked to remain anonymous.

 

Once again you've kept me in fits of laughter. You have done it again!! Great slice of history there. Nitty and gritty. You continue to keep me well entertained... Moneypenny, Australia

 

I finally got to read the last chapter, it was wonderful. Do we all get invited to the publishing and press parties for it?...Jaycee, USA

 

Saving the best for last. Thanks once more for sharing with us. It certainly puts the GO life into perspective and makes me appreciate my GO friends even more...Azzu, Italy

 

A heartfelt thanks to this wonderful thing you have done!! Thanks for sharing your self with us and giving us all a kaleidoscope to look through. Reading your stories were like looking through an old photo album sometimes and was also like this book you "Just Couldn't Put Down" - you laugh and cry and cheer for the people in there because you feel that you ARE there with them...Minouche, USA

 

Padre, I recieved the book!!! Oh its really cool! Im so excited about starting it! Today I have an appointment at the hairdresser and will definately take it with me!!! thanks for sharing your stories with us!...Denise, Malta

 

I have just discovered the story and have spent the better part of a week getting up to speed on ch 1 through 8. At least now I can take a breather and get back to my real life and get some work done! One of the hazards of being self-employed and working from home is getting distracted by the likes of Sex, Surf and Sunburn. Now I can go back to paying attention to my job, my family, my husband and, oh yeah, packing for our trip to Turks in three weeks time! I have a whole new perspective on things and I think our trip will be enhanced by our behind the scenes peak. Write on, brother!...Abb, Canada

 

Bravo!!!!!! Fantastic I now have to go back to chapter 1 and start reading again so much in one year wow! Loved the book and thanks for bringing back some old memories...Nightshade, USA

 

Congratulations, you can write. This is a big deal since most people cannot. It is as crystal clear as the waters off Provo that you found some time (between SCUBA, romancing the guests and fixing the equipment) to jot down some keen observations. You have a good ear because everything you wrote rings true (even to us non-GOs). For what it's worth, I read 2-3 books a month, I run a Book Club, and have a long family history of writers, reporters and editors. Keep up the good work...Malone, USA

 

You're the man Padre!!!!! Can't you quit your day job and get the next book out for all of your fans....and possibly put the rest of your life on paper too, cause that would surely be entertaining as well!!!...Chabella Canada

 

I can't get enough of this story !!!! I love it !!!! Just love it !!!!!! Good job.... It's like re-living some things... ;-)...MJ, Canada

 

You have a talent Padre. No, I'm not quite done with the book yet, but getting there. Reading this just brings back so many memories that I haven't thought of in some time. I just felt inspired to write you and just want to thank you again for writing such an honest book. It's like my past,my faded memories, have been brought back to life..."Bones", USA

 

I got the book two days ago and finished reading it this morning. EXCELLENT. I just wish there was a sequel or something. It was like taking a vacation without ever leaving the couch. Thanks for giving me a glimpse into what I have to look forward to in the near future (with a little luck)..CircusFSU, USA

 

I read the whole book ... it is excellent. Padre you HAVE to write more. It did ruin a whole week though because I was reading everyday till 2AM and couldn't wake up in the morning. So now I have sleep deprivation and withdrawal symptoms. Am I going cold Turkey on Sex, Surf and Sunburn?
Oh well it is Thanksgiving soon...Mike, Belgium

 

O how I'd wished you had done at least 15 seasons. So much more to write about, so much more for me to read. Nevertheless, a lot of thanks from "a huge fan"...Karolyn, Netherlands Antilles

 

Padre, I just finished reading your book and I have to tell you how much I enjoyed it. Having worked as a GO in Punta Cana in the past, I always had the urge to go back to the Club. I finally went to Turks for 1 week as a GM. I read your book upon my return and was able to relate to many of your stories, whether it was the funnier or the sadder ones. Anyways, all that to say thank you for giving me the opportunity to relive those emotions and giving me something to dream about during my long uneventful days of work!...Tallsweety, Canada

 

Still having a good time picking up your book. Even the chapters that I am not in! Yeah, you need to just become a writer. You could just do magazine articles about life in Club med and rejuvenate the whole appeal of the club...Boomer, USA     >>>>>
