The Beach

/lit/ will probably shit all over it but I think it's Garland's best work & my personal favourite book.

I grew up on a small tropical island with a population of around 300 people, all related to me in one way or another.
Whenever I get home sick I read the beach, and remember why I left.
People who live in small island community's are fucking crazy.

I remember reading it really quickly, which I guess means it's a well-written thriller, probably.

I loved it :^)
I lent my Garland books to a friend and I never saw them again. She was so much of a bitch that when I asked her for them back she couldn't remember me giving them to her or what books I were talking about. Fuck, I am salty about that

How does it compare to the movie?
