The Beach Alex Garland
It is hard to believe that this is Garland's debut novel. It is a gripping tale of adventure, so well written that it is imposible to put down. This
story is perfect for anyone who is of free spirit or who wishes they were. For readers who long for explorations into the unknown and who desire the opportunities to be with others like
themselves. A group of adventurers from various countries find their way to a secluded area known as The Beach, where they live a life free of the everyday hassles that one
faces in the outside world. Life is exciting and relaxing until things start to go terribly wrong. Garland's debut is so good that a movie is now coming out
based on the novel, starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Do yourself a favor and read the book. The movie couldn't possibly do the novel justice. (Sheila, Feb. 2000)
