A thoroughly enjoyable book to read, full of great "locals" tips, hilarious tidbits, and even a few really smart tips for those of us actually trying to quit our jobs and move to Key West! If you've ever dreamed of leaving the snow and cubicles behind, this might even help light a fire under you. It sure did for me!

This how-to, where-to, what-to, guide to Key West, FL is deceptively short yet comprehensive. Far from being your typical boring travel guide, there's alot of tongue-in-cheek humor in these pages about the place. It's more like a travel guide on LSD. There's a month by month section giving the best times to visit and what to expect in terms of traffic etc etc. From the best spots to drink & eat (notice I listed drink 1st) and "must sees" to insider type secrets about parking and transportation known only by locals it packs quite a bit of helpful info into its 100+ pages. If you're planning on visiting Key West or as the authors jokingly suggest throughout --- quitting your job and moving there, be sure to give this unique and entertaining book a read first!

I was just in vacation in key west and picked this book up. it was an absolute blast to read. a true look in to what its like to live in key west. if you are planning to visit or thinking about moving there i would highly reccomend picking it up. i hope they choose more city's to write about in the future.

David Sloan and Chris Shultz did a great job describing what living in Key West is really like. I've lived there for six years and have been sending this book to my friends back north to make them jealous. Lots of humor and good info.

Just an FYI, this book is for sale on the Jimmy Buffett website for $14.95. Don't get ripped off by people that are charging over 30 dollars!
ps, AWESOME BOOK.

QUIT YOUR JOB AND MOVE TO KEY WEST by Christopher Schultz and David Sloan is a true tongue in cheek book. Oh the information is there but take it as what it is, a fun read, a beach read, tongue in cheek. Hey, the information is there just some of it a little slanted, lol. Key west is paradise but has significant draw backs, like few jobs and low pay, and it is very expensive to live here....now if you have $$$ great place to visit/live. Have fun with this book and pass it along. Don't take it too seriously like life in Key West often isn't taken seriously. RECOMMENDED

But not what I would call a complete guide on how to give it all up and move to "paradise". Don't get me wrong there are some helpful hints in here, and it is a humourous read, but if you've been to Key West any number of times, you probably know everything included. It is at least worth the price to buy the book and leave it lying on your desk for everyone to see!

There's no real advice. It's a great gift to give someone who loves key west and dreams of quitting their job, but there's no real value or information in this book other than the cute aspect of a cute gift.

The book is well written and a fun read. It does give some important insights into life in Key West and things to consider before you take the plunge and move down. Worth reading even if you don't move down.

A must read for anyone dreaminnnn of The Keys. Fun, easy to read. leave it at your computer station when you go to lunch and watch how it mysteriously has moved.
