Summary
Retirement ain’t for pussies. Someone told me that once. And I’ll tell you this much—they weren’t shitting. If you know anything about me at all, folks, you’ll know I’m not much of a planner. Never have been and probably never will be. So when I decided to take early retirement without so much as a f-----g whiff of a plan, my crew of geriatric buddies at the Seacoast Majestic Resort came to the consensus that I hadn’t given my future enough thought. I mean, they weren’t wrong. All cards on the table—I hadn’t given it any thought. Who the hell plans their retirement anyway? Like, what’s my to-do list even supposed to look like?
Day 1—Consume margaritas while sunning on the beach—nap numero uno—poker with the guys—nap numero dos—early dinner buffet—more margaritas—relations with my girlfriend—bedtime.
Day 2—Margaritas on the beach—nap one—miniature golf with the guys—nap two—early buffet—margaritas—sex—bedtime
Day 3—Margaritas—nap—poker—nap—food—drinks—sex—snooze
Day 4—Rinse and repeat.
You get the picture. Who needs a f-----g plan for that? And you know, my lack of a plan would’ve worked perfectly fine except for the little hassle of needing money to retire. According to Al, I wasn’t allowed to crash on his living room floor for the rest of my life, and Vic Hoffman’s old cottage cost more to rent than a song and a Bentley combined.
So, at Al’s persuasion (*cough* coercion), I was forced to temporarily come out of retirement and get a part-time job to cover my expenses. I won’t get into the details of the job I was forced to get, because that would spoil the story. But let’s just say, it became a clusterf--k in the unkindest sense of the compound word. And now, once again, I invite you to join me and Al for yet another Caribbean-flavored adventure.
As always, this book is rated R for colorful language, crude humor, sexual innuendos, and the occasionally frequent non-PC remark. Rated A+ for entertainment value.

Not the same
This book was every bit as good as all of the other Drunk books. Unfortunately the narration is not. I don't know what it will take to fix the, "Scheduling conflict," with Chris Boucher, but I won't be buying anymore books unless you do.

So much missing…
This series was one of the reasons I subscribed. Drunk was always a bit whining and that fine, but now he just seems idiotic for the sake of being idiotic. Not to bad on the fine narrator for this one, but the original combo narrators made the series come alive. Frankie is just not the same for obvious reasons. I understand scheduling conflicts but the adage of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” rings true here.

Get back your old narrator
The voices were terrible. You could not tell the women from the men. I may not get the next one.

Wasn't able to finish this one on audio.
I am a huge fan of this series and have bought every previous audiobook. I can't make it through this one though with the new narrator. It's just not the same. I will probably return this one as I can't get more than an hour into it and will read the ebook this go around.

Worst book in the series
Struggled to finish this one. I fell in love with this series and every book before this one was fun. This book made Frankie weak and vulnerable which was not her character in the other books. the story was all over the place. Drunk comes off as extremely stupid and it was so annoying to characterize such a sarcastic smart ass as a dumb ass. His quick wit me the other stories but this one for me was a huge disappointment.

New Narrator okay, but 'Danny's' voice needs work.
New narrator makes Danny Drunk sound like Cheech crossed with a surfer dude.
Please fix.
Story is good continuation in series.
Hopefully Drunk gets a bit more mature and less whiney as it continues!
