When
I bought this book, what caught my attention was the fact that it is a
story regarding backpacking in Asia. I am somewhat of a traveler and a
backpacker myself so it got me very interested. After several pages, my
husband mentioned that it is the same story as the movie of the same
title starred by Leonardo DiCaprio. I did watch that film ages ago and
all I remember was this sexy beach scene Leo had with a very beautiful
French actress. So that pretty much hyped my excitement to finish this
book. As it turned out, it's not just about the thrill of backpacking
in Asia. It was way, way more than that.
