I bought this book cause I am a George Michael fan and Club Tropicana video was shot at Tony Pikes hotel. The book is great,a quick and pleasant reading with many interesting facts about Mr. Pikes and some of the stars the visited his hotel.

I Took a Pill in Ibiza, and Australia
An Englishman from a bad upbringing goes to Australia and rights his life discovering women in the process. Or maybe women discovered him. A double aorta that gets more blood to certain parts of his body. Let the fun begin! Interesting story of a unique man, a unique life and a unique celebrity hotel in Ibiza at the beginning. A little too much sexual braggadocio for my taste but hey, enjoy it if you can. But this was the beginning era of AIDS and all that that implies.Overall, an interesting story with a lot of namedropping. I feel a little dirty having read it but enjoyable nonetheless. Not quite 5 stars.

What a Life this man had.
Wow. What a life, there wasn’t anything he didn’t experience or do. I read prior reviews before reading it, and I’m glad I went with my intuition. Other reviewers appear to have wanted stories solely on the mega-celebrities that stayed at his hotel, but folks, his life story was far more interesting.

long passages of this short book a dedicated to rather boring listings of his sexual conquests
While Mr Pike is without doubt a colorful and interesting character worthy of a biography, long passages of this short book a dedicated to rather boring listings of his sexual conquests. The book rarely goes beneath the surface of 'went to this party and pulled that bird' which gets old after some pages. It's still a fun and quick read when nothing substantial is around. One can't shake the feeling that the author missed the true potential if Tony Pike's life story and that the book could have been a lot better.

What a life!
Tony Pike has lived. Period. A larger than life human being who has been through the highest highs and the lowest lows that life could throw at a man. His way of facing life head on and being willing to fall on his ass is really inspiring.

... been to the island 5 times and completely in love with the place
Didn't know what to expect with this story but have been to the island 5 times and completely in love with the place. Fun read for leisure and a cool story about a man made from the ground up.

Insignificant
The content of the book: 'Mr Pikes: The Story Behind The Ibiza Legend' should have been written primarily for the hotel guests and friends of the subject matter, Tony Pikes. The book was nothing short of name-dropping and self-serving bravado in bedding hundreds of women high on cocaine and/or Ecstasy. I thought it would be interesting considering its setting but was disappointed in its intended aim and in the amateurish manner of which it was written.
