My Life with 3 Women

Great book, couldn't put it down. Read it all in one sitting. Enjoyed the story and the discription of the places they traveled and their adventures. I felt I was right there with them. Makes me want to quit my job, get on my sailboat and take off. Found no problem with the way it was written, seemed honest and accurate. There must be a sequel or two, would love to find out what happened the next six months and what they are all doing now. Are you listening Alan??

This book is an amazing story of four real people. Sure, it's a man's book, but it's a woman's book as well. I've loaned it to several of my women friends and can't get it back! Just think. Four strangers are thrown together and live in a small space for a year. The women quickly became the best of friends. I loved how they finally got around to sharing Alan, the only man around. I almost felt sorry for the guy, the way they "used" him. What a change from men using women! The scenes where they acidentally got drunk from drinking too much Kava are beyond hilarious. Alan's a real guy, too. Using Pavarotti's tape to cover the sounds of making love on the small boat had me in stitches. But seriously, how could they do it, all stuck on a small boat at sea? I laughed my head off. Then I cried at the tragic events that drove these women from their homes. I was scared to death during the pirate attack and almost got sea-sick during the killer-storm.But what stuck with me most was the deep friendships they developed for each other. They create their own little world for a year on that small boat. We need more love, friendship andcaring in our much bigger world. Five stars, for sure!

A powerful, adventurous, true story of 4 stangers who meet for a few days and stick together for a year. THe book works as an adventure story, a human drama, a "sailing in paradise" story and a look at human nature under stress. I really fell in love with the 3 women and came to admire the guy. They're real people. I recommend the book highly. It's well written and puts you rightt here, especially during the survival storm and pirate attack. But above all, the interaction of the four of them moved me the most. I was in stitches over the Pavarotti part. It really has something for everyone. And it's not just a man's book. My wife read it and loved it, passing it on to her friends.Five stars all the way.

I couldn't put this book down. As a sailor, it's scenes of sailing in a tropical paradise made it like being threre. As a human, the story of the 3 women and 1 man and the cirumstances which threw them together was deeply moving. As a romantic, I could see them creating their own little world, and the 3 women deciding to share the only guy around. As an adventurer, I loved the sailing scenes, the survival storm and the nightime pirate attack left chills down my spine. I've never read a book that hooked me and dragged me in like this one. If you love life, adventure, or sailing, or just plain romance, I recommend it highly.

I felt like I was the 5th person on that boat. It was so real, so vivid and powerful. I found this true story of 3 women who share 1 man for a year to be powerful, uplifting, humorous and insightful. I felt like I was in Tonga and Fiji. As a sailor myself, the sailing scenes are classic and true. Only a sailor who's been there could write like that. I felt I was on the boat fighting the storm. Alan's writing puts you right there, in the storm and running from the pirates in Indonesia. Alan and the 3 women are for real. You feel for them, ache for them and laugh hilariously when they drink too much Kava. The book works on several levels: a rip-roaring adventure, a great sailing story, a deeply moving human story, a story of friendships so real you can relate to them and, of course, tropical islands and a share of sex. Four people alone and in trouble find each other and come out on top. Like one of the reviews said, " a must read." You'd better believe it!
