Hi

I'm wondering if anyone out there can offer any suggestions as to what the name of this book could be as its driving me up the wall!

Basically it is the story of the Lord of the Flies but instead of being children the characters are adults, one of the principal characters being a rock star.

It is the rock star that becomes deranged.

The story is unusual in the sense that the first part of the book is where the survivours are rescued, the second part is tells the story of how the party got onto the island / what happens whilst they are on the island whilst the final bit is what happens to the survivours after they are rescued.

I've had suggestions of it be "Lost" and "the Island" but I thought "Lost" was a drama (so could run and run if you get my drift) and "the Island" was that film with Leonardo DiCaprio and I know it wasn't that.

Any help would gratefully be received!

Ewan Mcgregor actually.... DeCaprio was in "the beach".

I dont know why but Louise Lawrence and Diana Wynne Jones come to mind you might look at a list of thier books see if it helps.
