Paradise Overdose

If you like Jay McInerney ("Bright Lights Big City", or my favourite "Story of My Life",) you'll love this book! It's brain candy to be sure, but there is enough tragedy to give a genuine depth to the book. I've spent a lot of time in Freeport, Bahamas and found the fictional history of Grand Bahama Island amusing, but a lot of the descriptions of life in Freeport are completely true! Give it a try, you just might like it!

In this delicate age of political correctness, Mr. Antoni blows the roof off propriety with a tale of decadence that is both a harrowing moralistic fable of cross addictions and a heart-breaaking chronical of trying to find redemption through love and a personal epiphany through the haze of sex and suffering. Antoni's prose rings with a contemporary earnestness that sometime boarders on the scatological, heightening the intensity of this powerful story. Anyone with the deligence to open themselves to some true heartbreak will be rewarded with the privilege of reading one of the most powerful debuts to hit the bookshelves in a long time.

This is one of the only books I've read straight through. I then read it a second time. Parts are so hot, I thought they would burn up the page. It's a coming of age novel set in the Bahamas about how the love of a woman can save your life.

This book is the first from a young author who writes a compelling tale about life and love in the carribean. Its hot, spicey and steamy but also delivers a poignet message about life. A fantastic book you won't put down. I look forward to many more from this auther!
