Publisher Description
Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of The Beach by Alex Garland, read by Alfie Allen.
The classic story of paradise found - and lost.
Richard lands in East Asia in search of an earthly utopia. In Thailand, he is given a map promising an unknown island, a secluded beach - and a new way of life. What Richard finds when he gets there is breathtaking: more extraordinary, more frightening than his wildest dreams.
But how long can paradise survive here on Earth? And what lengths will Richard go to in order to save it?
Customer Reviews
Perfect
I’ve read the book at least 15 times and seen the film twice that, and wanted to experience it again during downtime whilst travelling through Greece. I tend to feel unwell if I look at screen or page whilst on a plane or any vehicle really, so The Beach on audiobook was the perfect solution as I could enjoy the story whilst taking in the views. The narrator does a brilliant job, and being British rights some of the wrongs of making Richard an American in the movie ;)
