Started out ok. Half-way through, it's kind of stuck in the mud. Hope it picks up.

The Beach is a book that impressed me less and less upon reflection than it did when I was reading it (when I thought it was great).
Though the movie spawned a review which spawned one of my favorite lines (I can't remember the reviewer):
"As Leonardo DiCaprio learns, it's not paradise if there are hippies there."
Amen.
