I didn't get it. I know other reviewers rated it highly but I really struggled through this book. There was lots of info about boats and a huge cast of characters some of whom seemed to have little or no relevance to the story. It was a very intricate plot - unfortunately most of it didn't seem to lead anywhere. I couldn't see the purpose of much of the narrative. When I got to the end it was all very ho-hum, and what happened to all those characters? I didn't know and didn't care. My grandfather was a Venezuelan immigrant who came to Miami in the 70's. As a result this is where I was raised. I used to listen to all the stories of the drug dealing and smuggling and it wasn't until I read Mid Ocean that I had a truely graphic picture of what really happened. My own father was killed on 88th Street in a drug deal and this specific part of crime drama has a special place in my heart. Now I keep this book very close to me. Thank you to Mr. Cimino for writing it.
I've always been a fan of Jimmy buffet and his writing. Mid Ocean is better. Much better.
