Beach (Popular Penguin)

Alex Garland’s The Beach was published to immediate acclaim, and has since become a bestselling cult classic and a Hollywood blockbuster. Richard, a gap-year student, is introduced to a beautiful island by the mysterious Daffy. But with drugs and the glamorized violence of Vietnam War films haunting his perception of his Thai paradise, Richard soon finds that the hideaway becomes a nightmare. A compulsive adrenaline rush, The Beach is an adventure you’ll never forget.
