To escape the failure of a marriage his wife no longer wants and a business that no longer stirs his soul, Jamie Richards runs away to a Caribbean island, where he becomes the salt-crusted, barefoot skipper of the excursion catamaran The Do Over. Along the way, he candidly questions many of the cultural and sexual truisms of his past life, finding that many are no more than myths. JR Ingrisano’s Captain Jolly’s Do Over is a character-driven novel of redemption and relationships, with echoes of Hunter S. Thompson’s The Rum Diary and the stories of William Faulkner’s Yoknapatawpha County. It is the ultimate escape fantasy, a novel of myths wrapped in hard-core truths about modern relationships. Long after you are done, the characters will stay with you, and you’ll find yourself missing them. I especially liked, in an odd way, Patti the Beast. – Jo Roderick, author of The Aeonosphere. Congratulations on an artistic success that deserves to be followed by the commercial kind. --Eric Anderson

What more can one ask for? Not much, but you get it anyway. Written in the first person, this novel is filled with some robust, yet odd characters who have earned even odder names, some of which not quite so flattering but most fitting.In true island style, the story begins slowly, and is layered into three distinct timelines: the past, the recent past, and the present. At the start, I was a little concerned at the format, but I love the way all three are seamlessly woven together. J.R. Ingrisano pulls off a tightly-knit story that leaves us turning the page for a further chapter or two just to find out what happens. It is meted out in enticing portions.Captain Jolly’s Do Over is not exactly your average Caribbean getaway, and it is all the better for it. This is a fascinating look at real life and interpersonal relationships. There is a great emphasis placed on human value. It’s a journey of self-discovery, and I think many of us can relate to the memorable characters in the book.I’m not much of a sailor, but I know enough about boats to appreciate the author’s attention to detail. I was thrilled to read that the seemingly craziest solution was the best possible course of action for Captain Jolly and the ‘Do Over’. This is where the novel begins, but the author doesn’t give much away.The descriptions are tactile and wonderfully true to life. Clearly, the author has spent enough time on the Islands to get to know the local culture, and has wisely not painted Jamaica as a fantasy, but rather a real ‘paradise’.There is a subtle yet natural flow from a frivolous note to a serious tone as the story unravels. I like to read characters having an ‘ah-ha’ moment. The novel culminates in a rather emotional and theatrical climax. J.R. Ingrisano tells a magnificent story. We would all love a ‘do over’, and Captain Jolly actually got two!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Should You or Should You Not Buy the Book? By Amazon Customer Caution: This is a word of warning to anyone considering the purchase of "Captain Jolly's Do Over." My advice is that you NOT buy it. Why? Because if you do make the same mistake that I did and order the novel, you won't get one darn thing around the house done until you've read it "from kiver to kiver," as my Irish grandpa used to say.Instead of getting the Christmas tree up or the garage cleaned out, you'll be sitting in an easy chair learning about the most unusual cast of characters you've ever met. When you should be taking your car in for an overdue service appointment, you'll be instead laughing at Captain Jolly's odd behavior when his very life is threatened. Or how he had second thoughts about how sharks aren't really all that dangerous. Or how shopkeepers on the island know every trick in the book about getting into the pockets of unwitting tourists. Or...or...or. Wait a minute. I've changed my mind.Buy the book. Let someone else put up the Christmas tree. What's a few more miles on the oil change? You've worked hard enough. Get that easy chair ready and plan to thank me later for the advice. (Bill Sheridan)

By Jude Genereaux Fast read, interesting ... although a good editor might have helped some of his repeat - repeats. Tends to be the universal mid-life marriage crash / dream solution / island escape = but if the guy really lived it: good for him. Enjoyed his characters. Most of them.
