| "THE BEACH is fresh, fast-paced, compulsive and clever - a LORD OF THE FLIES for the Generation X. It has all the makings of a cult classic." Nick Hornby |
| "Alex Garland is writing a brand new kind of adventure novel. His style is dangerously simple yet altogether captivating." Douglas Rushkoff |
When Richard flies to Thailand he learns of the mysterious beach from a man who subsequently commits suicide. Teaming up with a young French couple, they set off to find it.
