"That dumbshit map. I'd been seduced by it. Seduced by its possibilities. That map had brought me here...That map had been a serious mistake."
The map in question is of Australia, stumbled across in a second-hand bookshop by American journalist Nick Hawthorne, en route to another dead-end hack job in Akron, Ohio. Seduced by all that wilderness, all that nothing, Nick decides to put his mildlife crisis on hold and light out to the ultimate nowheresville- where a chance encounter throws him into a sun-baked orgy of surf, sex and swill, and a nightmare from which there is no escape.

Starts like a travel adventure, and gets sort of crazy and scary!

Ah ce Kennedy, il arrivera toujours à me balader !
Comme dans l'autre que j'ai lu (et ringué) de lui, paf ça derape à un moment. Et comme ce precedent livre aussi, je trouve la fin un peu faible, un peu torchée. mais ne bondons pas le plaisir :)

Douglas Kemmedy will always manage to bring me in his trip !
As in one of his other books I had read (and sent in bookring), the story suddenly make a complete turn in something very weird. And as in this previous book, I think the end is a little weak compared to the rest of the book. But the pleasure is here :)

I was a bit snowed under with rings for the last fortnight but then being ill last week gave me the chance to work through them. I looked at the pile last night and there were two, one of which I was about to start. Oh good I thought I can start on the TBR pile this week, stop hubby moaning that it's growing. Then of course today two more rings arrived in the post. LOL. Guess hubby will have to moan a bit longer

This was strange. I maybe expected it to be a travel journal not a novel which it turned out to be. So it started off pretty normal and then went really freaky. Not bad though despite that.

Alors, d abord desole pour ne faire signe que maintenant. Je dois l avoir depuis bientot un mois maintenant, mais au moins je l ai lu.
Et je suis aussi de l avis de tt le monde.
Je le trouve pas mal ecrit, mais n est pas du tt ce a quoi je m attendais au depart. La fin est effectivement un peu faible, mais le plaisir de lire est la.

First sorry, I had the book since almost one month and didn t tell you. But during this time, I read it!
I agree with almost all of you, it s not at all what I expected (a journey story, but being surprised is always good), and the end is too weak, but despite that, It was a real pleasure.
Thanks all!
I will pass it to OneteamOnetime soon.

Tu lis 2 phrases et t'es dans coup..tu te marres..ça te régales...les personnages se pointent..tous plus nazes les uns que les uns...tu continues à kiffer un max...tu te la pètes grave...
2ème partie de plus en plus dingue...mais maintenant t'es dans un autre livre "stay busy, stay stressed and you don't have to reflect on the abject futility of your time on the planet"

Want to read it...You're right,Man..

A very effective thriller, which really scares you.
I guess the narrator really changes his way of life after he manages to get out of that awful place unharmed.
I'll be mailing it to ariuca when I receive her adress.

Journal Entry 14 by ariuca from Madrid, Madrid Spain on Thursday, December 7, 2006
Finally read! It's quite a weird story. It seems a travelling book and ends up like some kind of scary movie (in both senses). Thanks kanapoutz for sharing it. I've just PMed you to ask what you want me to do with it.

Journal Entry 15 by ariuca from Madrid, Madrid Spain on Friday, December 22, 2006
