 Beach Babylon August 18, 2008
This is my favourite of all the Babylon series.
I read it whilst lazing on a sun lounger in a 5 Star resort in Dubai with lots of Russians around, flashing the cash. Although I wasn't on a Maldivian Island, whilst reading the book, I slipped into fantasy land and became one of the Rich and Famous visitors to the amazing hotel depicted in this book.
Another triumph by Imogen.
 A proper holiday read July 31, 2008
After the disappointment of Fashion Babylon, the series returns to the top with is easy to read, hard to put down exposure of behind the scenes running of a six star holiday resort - set on a island in the middle of a tropical island, with little to do except eat, drink and be merry - and with many of the rich guests bringing their own entertainment, you can count on their being plenty of merriment. Highly recommended.
Just as good as Hotel but with extra bits July 11, 2008

I have just finished reading Beach Babylon and really enjoyed it. I have read the other Babylon books (pop to go) and this is second best against Hotel. It's has all the markings of Hotel but with the added extras of Sand, money, drink and very, very rich people.
This follows a week in the life of a Hotel manager at a luxury 6 star resort. An island in the middle of nowhere for the rich and famous and somehow they cater for their every whim with no resources. How the staff cope with being stuck on an island and being cut off from the `real' world. Brilliant insight of what goes on behind the scenes.
