Book Reviews of Lost Horizon
Book Review: Hijacked to paradise
Summary: 5 Stars
A very diverse group of four people is attempting to leave war torn Afghanistan in 1933 when their plane is suddenly hijacked and taken to a remote Himalayan monastery . The carefully hidden monastery is an incredible Shangra-la, but some of them are unwilling to accept paradise, and a plot to escape is quickly collaborated. Escaping and trying to survive in an unknown land is a great adventure story by itself, and Milton's choice of characters shows a great understanding and disappointment for human kind as a whole. But some of the characters rise above this abyss and demonstrate a great optimism, and a chance for a tattered war torn world to survive. This book is an all time classic, and shows that the state of the world hasn't really changed in 75 years. The story of the hijacked plane is carefully hidden from the mainstream press, and the friends of the hostages are left to wonder what has happened to their friends.Dancing on the Edge of an Endangered Planet
