The Backpacker by John Harris

3.0

This is the perfect read if you're lounging around in a hammock in your backyard and are craving a bit of escapism and pretend-traveling that doesn't require any effort at all. It's not the perfect read if you like great writing, decent character development and people who aren't superficial jerks.

If you liked The Beach but want something worse, a lot trashier but still fairly entertaining, then this is just the thing for you.
