review 1: I would give this 2.5/3 stars. Unlike most people who have reviewed Duncan's books, I preferred Gone Fishing, the book following this one. I found that Briny Cafe had no clear objective, it just kind of meandered without any obstacles to overcome. Some of the characters (particularly the nastier ones like Emily and Weasel) were extremely unconvincing and contrived. I hate to say it, but so was Sam. He was more rounded out in Gone Fishing. Still I enjoyed parts of this enough, it wasn't a bad book.
review 2: Another easy to read story. I liked how Susan Duncan had pages from the island's newsletter "Cooks Basin News" throughout the story and also the recipes from "The Briny Cafe"at the end. It will be fun to read her sequel "Gone Fishing". Also since Cooks Ba... moresin doesn't exist but is based on the community of Pittwater it has made me look up this place. I am going to see if I can get a copy of her biograhphy "A Life on Pittwater". less
