#BestsellerOfThe1990s

Pickpick

Searching for adventure and for a place not yet spoilt by tourists, narrator Richard and some other backpackers strand on an unknown island off the coast from #Thailand. Other people are already living there, all in search of their own Utopia. Things go smoothly for a while but then Lord of the Flies meets Lost and things start falling apart. Fun read, nothing special.

Librarybelle I like that description- Lord of the Flies meets Lost! I‘m not a big Lord of the Flies fan, so I may skip this one. 4y
eeclayton I saw (and enjoyed) the film a few years ago; I didn't know it was based on a book though 4y
Kalalalatja I don‘t know why, but this book and Lord of the Flies have never appealed to me much. 🤷‍♀️ great review though! 4y
squirrelbrain I read this a loooong time ago, probably when it first came out, and I felt pretty much the same as you. Good, but not great and rather over-hyped. 4y
KarenUK Read it years ago too, when it first came out.... I actually remember loving it at the time.... but I was 22 so what did I know! 🤷‍♀️😂 @barbarabb @squirrelbrain (edited) 4y
