Product Description

Synopsis
Love, Life & Lemongrass is a short tale of Red, a 25-year-old girl travelling alone through Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. The book is a purposefully muddled collection of story telling, diary entries and film script all set against the breathtaking backdrop of South East Asia. The author has produced a unique blend of vivid descriptions--of squat toilets, a drug induced night at the infamous Full Moon Party, the sight of a woman struck dead by a coconut--with Asian myths, romantic fantasy and humorous, erratic ramblings. This is a must read for anybody who has been or has ever dreamed of visiting South East Asia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it - excellent read by first time author, 17 Mar 2004
I managed to find out about this book before I set off on my own world trip. I've already read it a couple of times and given it to other travellers to borrow - all of whom loved it. perfect book for people who've travelled as you can identify with a lot of the stories. even if you're not into travelling there are some excellent- laugh out loud moments that anyone can enjoy - the rape alarm sequence being one of my particular favourites. the format and style of the book means you can easily read it in a 2 hour sitting and dip in and out of your favourite bits. i'd strongly recommend buying this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not that amazing, 20 Jul 2005
I thought the book could have been better...I wouldn't really buy it but hey if you need to buy a book then Harry Potter will do...well actually if you are going through Asia then buy a map. It always helps...
