Product Description

Synopsis
Love, passion and the road trip of a lifetime in this breathtaking new novel, perfect for all fans of Jodi Picoult Two girls, an open road and a shiny yellow Mustang; it could have been the trip of a lifetime. But when Shelby and Gina pick up hitchhiker Candy Cane, their troubles have only just started. Inked with flowers and covered in piercings, they soon find out pink-haired Candy is on the run - for reasons so appalling they're almost unspeakable. They should have stuck to their no hitchhiker rule, but it's too late - and Gina and Shelby are drawn into a terrifying game of cat and mouse with no way out. As everything familiar is stripped away and morals are turned upside down, the question is this: how far will they go for a stranger?

5.0 out of 5 stars Road to Paradise, 16 Dec 2007
This review is from: Road to Paradise (Hardcover)
Paullina is the best there is, and her latest book is no exception. I held my breathe as I travlled across the USA with these 3 teenagers, and lost my heart to Candy, the youngest of the trio, but the wisest, the hardest and yet the softest. As they drove into a future they never knew was theirs, the road was filled with profound experiences, painful truths, stomach aching laughter and warm tears. From page one to the final chapter, I held my breath, I was riveted, I was lost in the world that Paullina can so successfully take us to, time after time. You will love them, hate them, become infuriated with them and be constantly trying to warn them, and you will miss them so much when you close this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Recommended, 26 Feb 2008
By M. Millar (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Road to Paradise (Hardcover)
I've read a few of Paullina's books now and undoubtedly she knows how to tell a tale. This book was enjoyable and, as with all of her books I've read, I raced through it. She paints the picture well of the 3 young women's experiences, thoughts and feelings on their journey cross country, with a real element of suspense. The plot is easy to follow, harrowing in parts but ultimately hopeful.
My one gripe is the dialogue between the characters on religion - these conversations (which took up page after page) were, in my opinion, a poorly disguised way of persuading the reader of Paullina's own beliefs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thoughtful and engaging..., 26 May 2009
By LittleReader (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Shelby and Gina, graudates, set off on a cross country road trip in a new bright yellow mustang - both with their own agenda - and end up learning far more than they ever imagined, about each other and life in general.

On the way they meet Candy and after originally having a 'no hitchhiker' rule, and against their better judgement, pick her up and from here we're taken on a sad, rather strange, emotional coming-of-age tale. Candy unfolds slowly and gently which is (cleverly) in direct contrast to her spiky, street-wise attitude and we learn of a girl who prostitutes herself, with a particular penchant for dangerous situations, and at first you wonder why. It does all become clearer - as does the initial reticence, the witholding of personal information, the vast knowledge of Christianity without knowing basic geographical facts, the overly made up child's-face with the cheap jewellrey in her ears, the paradox between her very naive upbringing and what she has become. It all fits. And it's a story cleverly woven. That is why I will (once again as she is one of my favourite writer's) commend PS and highly recommend her latest offering.

I think it would be easy to pass this novel off as a been there/done that story of teenage angst but it is multi-layered and there's lots going on...being unravelled...unpicked...

I thoroughly enjoyed it. 'Tully' remains my 'pick of the best novel' by this author, followed by 'The Bronze Horseman', but 'Road to Paradise' is wonderfully written...
