Book Reviews of On the Beach
Book Review: A haunting novel
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this novel when I was a kid, and felt that it was one of the most depressing books that I had ever read. I then recommended it to all of my friends as a must read. I still feel that way about the book, and have re-read it several times as an adult. Very powerful and well written. For those who like the book, the original movie with Gregory Peck is every bit as good, and should not be missed. Note that there was a remake a few years ago that really didn't make the cut.
