Praise for Duncan Campbell’s THE PARADISE TRAIL: 'The dialogue is the wittiest I have read in any work of fiction, including CATCH 22. The fascinating historical and cultural context is unobtrusively drip-fed, and the whodunit suspense masterfully created. Admirably insightful and hilarious. I can’t recommend it highly enough' Howard Marks, Guardian 'An exhilarating trip - compelling, exuberant, hilarious and moving. The great beach read with a conscience' Jake Arnott ‘Lively, well-researched, atmospherically evoked…skilfully traces how the paradise trail upon which these naïve hopefuls stumble leads painfully back to the very selves they had hoped to flee’ Independent on Sunday ‘Reads like an acid-dropping version of Alex Garland’s THE BEACH’ Observer ‘Reads like a beguiling cross between Tom Wolfe’s THE ELECTRIC KOOL-AID ACID TEST and Alex Garland’s THE BEACH. Funny and sharp, [Campbell’s] debut novel captures the mood of the era in all its druggy, irreverent glory’ The Times 'This fiction debut from long-time Guardian correspondent Campbell recreates the era impressively - both the ferocity of its conflict and the drug induced languor of its hippies.' Time Out 'Essential reading...enthralling...intriguing. If the wit of Billy Connolly, the game of cricket and the works of Bob Dylan are your thing, you won't be disappointed' Scotsman 'Duncan has a lot of fun playing with the conventions of the mystery genre...This is a thoroughly entertaining, character-led thriller that manages to capture a time, a place and a mood perfectly' MetroReading Group Discussion Guide
