Ran out of power like Full Blooms tired diesels!

John Bloomfield did a great job capturing the out island Bahamian Experience. His descriptions of Briland (Harbour Island) and her people were on the money. I have to say that the first half of the book was super, as he succeeded in taking me away to the islands. He did a great job in developing the main characters. As a boat person, I understood the frustration of Cap'n Bo in having some unruly guest on board. The slow but honest way of Bahamian life was truly reflected.
John lost me though later in the book after the "discovery". I felt that from that point on, the book struggled through the "chop" and without the same attention to detail and belief as was evident in the beginning. It appeared that the author struggled to find a good close to an otherwise great book. The reader was left with a few questions such as what ever happened to the group on ONROP after their "goons" failed. Then suddenly Bo's financial dilemma was fixed from a character that walked on the pages too quickly. As far as the ending, well let's just say that you saw that coming all the way from South Florida.
All in all, I enjoyed the book because of my fond memories of a past visit to the Pink Sands of Habour Island. The people are truly wonderful and it is a great place to get lost.
It is too bad that it appears that some of the important pages of this book were also lost in paradise.

Flip Flop - A

Full of action and interesting characters, Flip Flop grabs your attention from the first page. The story is set in the Bahamas for the most part, and the setting descriptions are believable, probably because the author claims to have years of experience as a deep sea fisherman in that area. Bo, the main character, and Darcy the sun-bunny, are initially one-dimensional people, but they don't stay that way. The plot takes some fantastic turns, but somehow Bloomfield manages to combine a high-tech, cutting-edge subplot with breath-taking descriptions of the Atlantic and Harbour Island. The dialogue is funny at times and touching at others, but always rings true. Some lines are particularly memorable, especially in the conversations between Bo and Darcy (and between Bo and his Bahamian friends). Bulldog, Bo's ever-loyal and gargantuan sidekick, is genuinely likable. In fact, this novel would make a great screen play! I can see Ben Affleck as Bo and Alicia Silverstone as Darcy. It would be a blockbuster. If you can't get away for some R and R in the Bahamas, Flip Flop is guaranteed to take you to a place where your dreams really could come true. I highly recommend this book - it has something for just about everyone!

I thought the book Flip Flop was spectacular! What a great story. The language is so vivid in a way that makes you feel as if you were experiencing everyday adventures with the characters. John Bloomfield has the ability to capture the readers imagination and never let it go until the last sentence of the book has been read!! If you want to take a fascinating journey with a crew of dynamic, intriguing characters to an island in Paradise with out ever leaving your seat, then read the book. The story line will draw you in and you will never want the book to end! This is a great book for anyone who needs a little adventure, romance, humor and self-discovery all rolled into one!! I loved this book and I know you would too!

Flip Flop is a Hit not a Flop

Flip Flop, a book by John Bloomfield, is an entertaining easy read. The characters, Bloomfield has created, have stepped out of his real life experiences and into his novel with authenticity and a zest for life, that makes the book fun to read. If you would like to exchange the real life problems and issues that face you on a daily basis for a brief encounter with fictional fun, pick up the book. I don't think you will be disappointed.

After living in Harbour Island, the setting of the book, I can full-heartedly relate to the book. The characters are inspired by residents and visitors of Harbour Island. Once you ahve been there, you will know excactly who he used for insiration.
