Product Description

Review
Hedonism is really only interesting when it's you being hedonistic. Other people's tends to grate after just a short while, like being sober in a room full of drunks. So the first part of Hendricks's new novel did tend to drag a little. Punch is 40-something and dying from diabetes, a bad liver and booze. Juliette, the narrator, is in her early 20s and adores him. So much so, that she has agreed a suicide pact when he finishes the novel he's writing about their crazy life of sex, alcohol, drugs and petty crime in Key West, Florida. So far, so what? But then the crime gets heavy and guns become involved and the book takes off like a rocket. The last two thirds are terrific with an excellent ending. Persevere with this one and it's well worth the effort. (Kirkus UK)

The Guardian
‘The relentless, reckless nihilism is enough to make your head spin’

5.0 out of 5 stars Slow Dive to Paradise, 1 Jun 2003
Waif-like Juliet is trying to steer her ailing and alcoholic boyfriend Punch away from their fast approaching death pact. A hedonistic, passionate lifestyle in the Florida Keys and a new friend gradually convince Juliet that she doesn't want to die on Mardi Gras night, but persuading Punch envision a future is no simple task. A modern love story not to be confused with any fairytale.

4.0 out of 5 stars Romeo and Juliet meets Bonnie And Clyde, 12 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This is a whirlwind story of two lovers who have decide to live on the wilde side of life for a year before they commit sucide.

Juliet our young potagonist is a confused woman who has decided since her lover Punch, is dying that she can not live without him. The story unravels as they do more obsecure things inorder to provide Punch with material for his book. Things however slip out of their control as they begin a life of crime. A great style and great writting although the story at times becomes slightly disposable.
