Customer Reviews

Remeber folks, this is a re-print

I thought it was fabulous. I am often intreged by "based on the book by..." anywhere in a movie and often make it a personal quest to find the afformentioned book. I like the movie Blue Lagoon well enough, and went in search of "In the Garden of God" - original title and searched for years. I found it on an on-line library of sorts and read it. I found it facinating. Stacpoole goes into lush detail describing the island and the character of Paddy becomes more endering and his death is truly tragic. But the miracle of the children's survival as well as Dick's father's survival and their seperate quests is truly worth reading. The book itself is very plain. Softcover, white, title, author and that is about it. I am in search of an original, and perhaps someday I'll find it.

The Blue Lagoon

Basically, this book is about two shipwrecked kids who grow up together on a deserted island and fall in love without any interference from the outside world. Sounds idyllic, doesn't it? This is one of a very few books where the reader almost wishes they could trade places with the characters. The book is much better than the movie.
