Paradise

Rating:
Summary: Makes you yearn to visit paradise for yourself
Review: McMurtry delivers a compelling, thoroughly enjoyable read once again. He has traveled to Tahiti and the Marquesan Islands to reflect on his parents and on the idea of worldly paradise. And he seems to believe he has found that paradise in the South Pacific. McMurtry offers thoughtful and thought-provoking insights on his fellow travelers and spectacular descriptions of his surroundings in a book written very much like a diary or journal. Is there anyone who wouldn't like to visit these islands after reading McMurtry's account? While this is a fast read, the reflections the author presents have a penetrating quality to them; this is a book the reader will not soon forget.
