review 1: Eh...... Lots of characters and character development that had nothing to do with the main story - made it tough to follow who was actually connected to the plot. Atlanta (my home town) being a setting for a small part of the book increased my interest - but reference to it "snowing" in Atlanta on more than one occasion during the course of the book soured that for me - we are lucky to get a single snow every few years or so. The author also attempted to inject light humor throughout the read that fell flat, just not very connected and believable. I wanted to like this book being a fan of the Miami Vice era and books associated with it. I rarely give a 5-star or a 1-star. this one pushed the envelope as close as it can get for me to a 1-star rating. Some seem to lik... moree it greatly - didn't happen for me.
review 2: I could almost feel the salt spray coming over the bow of the boat as a read "Mid Ocean" by T. Rafael Cimino. The author's depiction of 1984 South Florida is flawless. In an age that transformed this part of the country and defined a decade, Mid Ocean hits the nail on the head with blow by blow prose that grabs the reader and doesn't let go until the last page. Mid Ocean was written by ex-Miami Vice (TV Series) writer, marine director, T. Rafael Cimino and his in depth portrayal of the drug smuggling culture shines along side the backstory of love and betrayal. Mid Ocean is a must-read for anyone who has ever been to the Florida Keys or has a hankering for Jimmy Buffet and the lifestyle that singer embodies. less
