Puerto Vallarta Squeeze
Genuine passion has become Robert James Waller’s hallmark. Now the author of The Bridges of Madison County has written a new book that’s taut with suspense - blending love, danger, and adventure like nothing he’s ever written before.
Novelist Danny Pastor liked what he found in lazily beautiful Puerto Vallarta, Mexico: Luz María, a woman he was crazy about; cantinas that played his kind of music; and la dolce vita, the sweet life. That was the problem. Danny needed to write, and he was up against a blank wall, not turning out a word while his money ran low and his nerves went wild.
Then he was in the right place, or the wrong one, to be the sole witness when a shooter gunned down an American naval officer. At a café table with Luz, Danny Pastor saw it all, and saw the possibility of a story, a surefire, prizewinning account that could restore his pride and make him famous. And when the killer approached him, the only other Anglo around, and asked for a ride across the border, Danny, bold with tequila, said yes.
Now in a Ford Bronco named Vita, two men and one woman begin a hair-raising run for the border. Their journey will take them to places they didn’t anticipate, to things they never thought would happen, to feelings that reach deep and change everything—in a story that will kindle a spirit of adventure in everyone. Puerto Vallarta Squeeze bristles with wry humor, hard action, and an explosive conclusion—a fast-paced, emotionally complex novel that will hold you spellbound from the first to the last page.

I first read this book back in the mid 90s, and there were only two things that I remembered about it. One was that I loved the book; the other was that it was based on a true story that Walloer’s wife had heard while in Puerto Vallarta. I read it then because I was in love with Mexico, and I still am.
So, I decided to read it again, and I am glad that I had. It reminded me somewhat of No Country for Old Men, but it is also a tragic romance story, unlike No Country for Old Men that contains no romance. As I closed the book, my heart felt heavy, and I thought that I should maybe read a lighter book, but at the same time I wanted more of Waller, as I found him to be a very good writer.
Danny, a journalist, is living in Puerto Vallarta with a beautiful woman named Luz. They are in love, but I questioned her love as I continued reading on.
They were sitting in a bar one night when Danny saw a man sitting in a corner who kept looking out a window. He also noticed that this man had a gun under his vest, as the man’s hand had revealed it. All the sudden two men are shot out on the street. “The Shooter,” as he is called, gets up and leaves. Danny and Luz leave the bar and go to another one, when The Shooter finds them. He asks Danny if he would take him to El Norte, to the border, and then he tells him that he will pay him something like $5,000. Danny sees no way out of this and complies, but as a writer, he also sees a story in the makings.
What slowly transpires is a wild dangerous ride. They stay in San Blas, more than likely in the same run down hotel that my friend Julie and I had stayed in back in the 80s, a hotel near the ocean whose windows were open all night, letting in a stench of sewage, a hotel with rusted leaky faucets, and shower that barely produced water. San Blas was once a hippie town, and many of the children that we saw in the streets had blonde hair and brown skin. Sailors also stopped there and had children. I could understand why the hippies wished to live in this sea port, but it was a shame that the town was completely run down.
Next, Danny, Luz, and The Shooter are traveling along the mountain road to Durango, and I recall that it was had the most beautiful scenery in all of Mexico, as Julie and I had once traveled the same road.
As I continued reading this book I felt that Luz was falling for The Shooter because he was a stronger man than Danny, and he was going to El Norte, a place she wished to live. I just felt this from the smiles that she gave him.
As death follows them on their trip to El Norte, Danny is wondering how to get out of this predicament, and I am wondering too. And so I continued to read on.
Update. Read again on May 15, '2023. I should add that this book contains Frag minute scenes of sex.

Novelist and former reporter Danny Pastor has taken a break from Chicago and is living the lazy life in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, trying to recover the passion he has for the written word and figure a way back onto the publisher’s A-list. But in a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, Danny and his main squeeze, the beautiful and enticing Luz Maria, accidentally witness an assassination by an ex-government agent. Danny and Luz end up with the shooter, making a dangerous run for el Norte in an old beat-up Ford Bronco named Vito.
I wasn’t sure if I would like this novel or not going into it, but I was pleasantly surprised. I have not read any other books by Robert James Waller, not even the well-known The Bridges of Madison County. The writing here is top notch and I felt like I could really taste the unique flavors of Puerto Vallarta as well as the other locales in Mexico that are visited in the novel. Fundamentally, this is a chase novel, told mostly from the point-of-view of the three main characters but also some snippets from the team that is assigned to track down and deal with the shooter. We do get to learn each of the three main characters backstories which goes a long way in humanizing them and paves the way for a truly impactful ending. They do come to share a complicated relationship involving trust, friendship and romance and this characterization and interaction really makes the novel.
Based on my experience with this one, I will likely try more of Waller’s novels in the future.

I loved The Bridges of Madison County and so when I saw this book was by the same author I jumped on it. I have to admit that there were times i was going to give it a DNF rating. I'm glad I stuck with it, although it is def not anywhere near Bridges. The characters were believable and the story did tug at your heartstrings in the end. This is why I would actually give this 3.50 stars.
Danny is an American writer, hanging out in Mexico after a failed marriage and lack of another best seller. He has been hanging around with Luz, a young Mexican woman with dreams of a better life up north. Danny witnesses a "hit" but doesn't mention it to Luz. Later, the shooter sees Danny and Luz in a bar and contracts Danny to drive him to the border. Danny and the shooter play a cat and mouse game, feeling each other out and trying to understand each other. Danny is in it for the story he might write, Luz is in it for love, and the shooter is in it to save his ass. Very interesting in the way it turns out.

Reconozco que el comienzo no me enganchó, pero según avanza la historia (sobre la mitad) empecé a conectar con la historia y al final ha sido un libro entretenido que nos cuenta la huida precipitada de un "tirador" que quiere huir de Méjico a Estados Unidos...

Puerto Vallarta Squeeze by Robert James Waller, 1995
I recently heard a speech by a literary man who has been in the book industry for over thirty years. He said that publishers love good books that sell...and bad books that sell. The only real criteria is that they sell. He made reference to Robert James Waller’s The Bridges of Madison County, which was reviled by the cultured despisers but sold millions of copies—an example of the “bad” but highly successful book. Although I saw the movie, I never read The Bridges of Madison County. I did read Waller's Slow Waltz in Cedar Bend, which was unmemorable. One could safely say that Waller isn’t in the league of Steinbeck (not many are), but I surely did enjoy Puerto Vallarta Squeeze. Goodness, I read it in 1995 and again in 2003. The 2004 movie was unfortunately, quite mediocre.I love this little tale. It made me think of my adolescent fantasy relating to the Walter Huston character in the movie, The Treasure of Sierra Madre, where near the end, Howard the old man, is dead broke but happy, knowing his final days will be spent in a small peasant village being attended to by two lovely Mexican maidens. In the same mold, Puerto Vallarta Squeeze could be called a really good trashy book for aging men—a prayer to the god of indolence.
The book is about a middle-aged novelist, Danny Pastor, who can’t seem to write, lazing around Puerto Vallarta with a pretty young whore with sort of a heart of gold, named Luz Maria. Luz wears a t-shirt showing two half limes on her breasts and the words Puerto Vallarta Squeeze. They like a place called Mamma Mia’s and spend their evenings listening to Willie and Lobo (who I happen to have seen live. I also own some of their CD’s—flamenco guitar and a violin—gypsy boogaloo music). The crap hits the fan when Danny accidentally sees a killing by an ex-government agent and ends up with the shooter, Luz and himself running for el Norte in an old beat-up Ford Bronco named Vito.
I enjoyed the banter, like when the shooter and Danny are bitching about Americans, born in luxury’s cradle, “escaping” to Mexico looking for the “meaning of life” then complaining about the sanitation setup. Or when they discussed the ethics of bullfights and hunting and slaughterhouses. Or their discussion of the machismo philosophy of Mexican men regarding their wives: “If they are pregnant, they will not wonder” and the fear of a wife learning the erotic arts: “she might like it too much.” Such matters are reserved for mistresses and bad women, not wives. I liked the author’s delving into the psychological makeup of an assassin. It’ a breezy read.
This little adventure twists and turns, it’s fast-paced, with smart dialog, humor, and a wild ending—and it’s easy to get sucked into believing that it would have been fun to have been there (except for the dying part).

I read this book quite some time ago,so I do want to disclose that fact. It is written in the classic Robert James Waller style. A style I love, he is one of my favorite authors. He simply has a unique ability to say so much with few word, and without cheating the reader. "Puerto Vallarta Squeeze" is a love story that takes place in Mexico with entertaining characters. They are a bit rough around the edges, but their more crude personalities makes it fun, and interesting. It is not as fabulous as "Bridges Over Madison County", but a good read on its own account.

This is the 7th book of Waller’s I have read. It started slow & w/ the usual gratuitous seamy sexual features. This seems standard w/ his works & I always wonder why men think it is necessary. It got better as it progressed. I visited Puerto Vallarta this last winter so enjoyed the writing w/ a first hand experience of the area. The tie in to war/Vietnam & mercenaries was a different twist for him.

Not at all what I expected, but hey, nothing wrong with that. Suspense, intrigue, romance, some simple universal themes... this guy creates unique stories, and develops characters that you become attached to. In a way, I envisioned this as an artful literary translation of Rambo, First Blood (the first one). Unpredictable right down to the end, though, unlike Rambo.

This book got off to a very slow start and almost became a DNF, but I stuck with it and the middle part of the book picked up quite nicely. Then came the bummer of an ending and the book finished poorly. Supposedly it was based on a true story and life does not always percolate the way we want it to, but why write a book without a decent ending?
October 11, 2014
I read this about ten years ago. I loved it then, cuz I love Vallarta. However, in all honesty, I don't think it was the greatest of all books. If you are a Puerto Vallarta lover, like me, you will probably like this, just for the scenery.
January 27, 2020
I enjoy Waller more than any other author I read.
Ever since the Bridges, I have been hooked. This is another example of his weaving and mastery
Of the English language.

This story takes the reader into the world of assassins & "plausible deniability"
A journalist happens to randomly witness two people getting killed on open street in Puerto Vallarta;
One is the intended target a software engineer about to sell company information to a foreign government, and the other one happens to be a active duty U.S Navy officer that the assassin took out on "private initiative" having a beef with the officer since Vietnam.
The journalist and his girlfriend are then approached by the assassin, who wants help out of the country and is willing to pay his way for a ride and together they start a roadtrip.
However the shady black ops employees of the assassin figures he over steeped as his mission only was to take out the software engineer.
Killing a u.s national, a navy officer however makes the assassin blacklisted, and his former employees flips on him and decides to hunt him down with other "wet work assets" and the journey out of the country becomes a whole lot more dangerous.
This writer clearly has been reading Marine Sniper by Charles Henderson
about Vietnam sniper legend Carlos Hathcock (nom de guerreThe White Feather).

A beautifully written, fast paced, action packed novel set in the steamy beach and beer world of Puerto Vallarta.
Novelist Danny Pastor, with a successful novel and failed marriage fading in his rear view mirror, royalties starting to dwindle is unable to make a commitment. He can’t commit to disciplining himself to write another best seller or to his voluptuous young Mexican girlfriend who wants nothing more than to live in “el Norte” with Danny. Drifting from beery day to boozy night with no direction he suddenly finds himself the sole witness to what looks like an assassination.
What seems like the germ of a story idea quickly becomes an interesting opportunity when the assassin hires Danny to drive him to the border.
What follows is a sensitive portrayal of three people, all riding on the edge of the razor, each with their own story and agenda, who discover just how fine the razor cuts.
Action, intrigue, romance, and through it all the uncaring bleakness of the landscape and finality of split second decisions. A must read.

I found this book on my Mother-in-law's bookshelf. When I first started reading it, I could not get into it, and I decided to put it aside before even finishing the first chapter.
This year, I wanted to read more books, and since this book was sitting on the shelf I decided to give it another try and I am glad I did. I thought it was a bit boring at the beginning, it has a slow start. But it gets more intense towards the end. The end! Well, the end made me feel a bit sad. But The book is supposedly based on a real story, so I guess the author couldn't create a happy "fairy tale" kind of ending. I am still trying to figure how I truly feel about everything, and I am trying to deal with the emotions caused by the ending.
Overall it was a nice and easy read.

Great story, as are all of Robert James Waller's. I really enjoy his writing. However, I read the Kindle edition and I have NEVER seen such a mess. If I had read the reviews on Amazon beforehand, I would have ordered the printed version, as everyone complained of the constant typos and poor formatting in the Kindle edition. I cannot imagine the original publisher allowing all of these errors, they were so distracting, they leap from the pages. According to the author's Acknowledgements at the end of the book, it is based on a supposed true story that his wife heard while visiting Puerto Vallarta.

Danny, a dried-up writer down on his luck in Puerto Vallarta, apart from the beautiful young local girl, Luz, sees a fatal shooting in a bar. Keen for a good story he teams up with the shooter, agreeing to drive the shooter up to the US border in return for a generous pay cheque. His girl insists on coming along and before long they are all engaged in a dangerous adventure with echoes of Bonnie and Clyde. Despite its low score by others on Goodreads I absolutely loved this. I loved the story, the vivid characters and the nods towards truths about our world and our place in it. Wonderful. One to read again and, like most of RJW's books, treasure.

Good old-fashioned adventure story with an old but capable expert soldier, offbeat novelist, and beautiful young woman. Their group tries to escape after an incident in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, traveling by car through the countryside to USA.
The biggest plus in the book is the great depiction of Mexico. Puerto Vallarta comes to life in the beginning, altough the adventure quickly moves on to the roads to Tepic and Mazatlan.
Recommend to someone traveling to Puerto Vallarta, as a light holiday read.

a pretty dark and sad history, so confusing since the beggining.
i liked the narrative, it didn't felt like it was stucked in some scenarios that were innecessary... but i didn't felt a connection with any of the characters, nor i felt like this could happen in real life.
i was very fast paced and sounded like memories and not like an proper history.
i do feel like this book can have more recognition in the platform.

An enjoyable and quick read -- about a couple, though not really a couple anymore, running into a sniper after he's killed two people. Danny, the male of the couple saw the killings, Luz, the female, did not. They keep moving north, where the sniper wants to go, with everyone -- Americans and Mexicans -- after them. It doesn't end well.

Saw this in a flea market and picked it up based on a previous trip to Puerto Vallarta. I found it to be an enjoyable read, interesting enough, not overly complex. Would categorize it as a beach read.

Fast and easy read, likeable characters, made me feel as if I was on the journey through Mexico with them. Was caught off guard with the ending, a bit of a twist. Needed a quick read to catch up on my reading challenge and this fit the bill!

Not what I was expecting. Really good read, short, well written and captivating. I would highly recommend.

Fun book to read by the pool while in PV for vacation. I was surprised by the story, it was engaging and haunting. Beautifully told in a way that makes me want to experience more of Mexico.

This was not worth my reading time. This book could have been half the pages that it was. A lot of unnecessary words and rambling.

Good overall. Last 1/4 was a real page turner and I wasn't expecting the ending.
