3.0 out of 5 stars Workmanlike and pedestrian, May 13, 2005

By	Steve Thomas "Park Bench Steve" (Stony Brook, NY) - See all my reviews

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.
