Notes:Pointless story about a guy who hates his job and his girl. They're on vacation in Italy when he decides to abandon both and join Anna, a rich American woman who owns a yacht. Anna spends all her time traveling around the world searching for "the sailor from Gibraltar," an old lover who may, or may not, exist. Our guy and this girl sit around and talk nonsense about past lives and silliness. And that's pretty much it.
My Rating: 2

Review - Sailor from Gibraltar, The

A complete waste of time. A pointless story about worthless people. The words "she laughed" appear about three times on every page. I powered through it because it read fast, but there wasn't a moment of enjoyment in it.
