'An absolute triumph of a novel' Guardian

'Compulsive' Independent

Welcome to LA. City of contradictions.

It is home to movie stars and down-and-outs. Palm-lined beaches and gridlock. Shopping sprees and gun sprees.

Bright Shiny Morning takes a wild ride through the ultimate metropolis, where glittering excess rubs shoulders with seedy depravity. Frey's trademark filmic snapshots zoom in on the parallel lives of diverse characters, bringing their egos and ideals, hopes and despairs, anxieties and absurdities vividly to life.

Some suffer, like the otherworldly wino who tries to save a spoilt teenage runaway. Others gain, like the canny talent agent who turns sexual harassment to blackmailing advantage. Some are loaded, or grounded, and have luck on their side. Others, like the countless actresses-turned-hookers, or schoolboys-turned-gangsters, are doomed.

Recenzja

'An absolute triumph of a novel. In fact it's so good that it makes Frey's real-life resurrection from crooked biographer to great American novelist far more impressive . . . Frey, a natural novelist to his fingertips, hits the deeper truths with this honest, vibrant and tender portrait of Los Angeles and the American dream . . . It can be no exaggeration to say that Bright Shiny Morning amounts to the literary comeback of the decade . . . James Frey is probably one of the finest and most important writers to have emerged in recent years' ― Irvine Welsh, Guardian

'He turns clichés into characters robust enough to carry this 500-page Californian odyssey' ―
Guardian

'A sparkling narrative, which doesn't shrink from exposing the city's seamier side but ultimately is a huge celebration' ―
Daily Mail

Frey writes with pace and energy ―
Times Literary Supplement

'A compulsive piece of popular fiction . . . He's an excellent entertainer . . . Frey can tell a story and has a fine eye for the variegated economic milieux in which his characters travel. So what if, by the end, you come away thinking the novel superficial and lacking in original insight? This is Los Angeles, baby. And in LA superficiality has its own integrity' ―
The Times

'Frey clearly has a knack for telling tales - this story of interweaving, never-meeting strangers in LA is an engrossing read' ―
The Times

'[It] pays little heed to conventional syntax, thus creating a beguiling momentum of its own, propelled by raw emotion and energy ... this compulsive novel is testament that good fiction can reveal powerful emotional truths' ―
Independent on Sunday

An intriguing novel peopled by characters whose presence lingers once reading has ceased ―
List

'A furiously good storyteller' ―
New York Times

'Taking the scattergun approach of his bestseller, A Million Little Pieces, [Frey] exposes the grubby reality of the Hollywood dream' ―
Marie Claire

'Totally addictive' ―
Time Out

'An immaculately written novel about a kaleidoscope of characters living in LA' ―
Tatler

'A sprawling, ambitious novel about Los Angeles, written with all the broad-stroke energy that was so irresistible to readers in A Million Little Pieces' ―
Vanity Fair

'Bright Shiny Morning has released [Frey] from the memoir trap, revealing an easy . . . storytelling facility' ―
Observer

'Frey has produced a novel that is defiant in both its grammatical rebellion and its fierce pace' ―
Observer

A fascinating book, challenging and stylish ―
The West Australian

'All the characters are cleverly juxtaposed against the history and atmosphere of Los Angeles itself ... a riveting and hugely enjoyable read: rushy, entertaining and appealing' ―
Sunday Business Post

'This dazzling novel focuses on a crazy cross section of the city's fictional characters' ―
Look Magazine

'Frey has constructed a spaghetti junction of LA stories that is irresistible, frustrating and compelling' ―
RTE Guide (Ireland)

'For fans of gritty modern writing, this fast and fascinating story paints a portrait of the Los Angeles that Hollywood films and TV dramas rarely show' ―
Bella

'The gritty, gloriousness of James Frey's writing will suck you in ... one of our favourites already!' ―
U Magazine

'[Frey] takes us deep inside the city of inspiring actors, singers, models and dancers. The city of nose jobs, breast implants, Botox and liposuction.' 'Don't be fooled by the apparently glamorous setting of this novel. This book is a gritty, disturbing and definitely emotional insight into the LA lifestyle, yet it's not all doom and gloom either. Frey's undeniable sense of humour, wit and charm ensure you definitely get your fair share of laughs along the way. This book is an absolute, without a doubt, must read. ―
Victoria Holden, Student Direct (Official Directory of Manchester and Salford)

5,0 z 5 gwiazdek Schönes Portrait über die Stadt L.A.
Opinia napisana w Niemczech dnia 20 czerwca 2018
Der Roman erzählt zunächst vom Leben und Leiden verschiedener, nicht in Relation zueinander stehender Personen(gruppen) in vier unabhängigen Haupt-Erzählsträngen. Interessant, durchaus mitreißend, jedoch manchmal leider einen Tick zu schablonenhaft in der Figurenzeichnung.
Der eigentliche "Star" des Buches, das sind allerdings nicht besagte Charaktere, sondern die Stadt Los Angeles. In zahllosen Zwischensequenzen, die einen beträchtlichen Teil des Buchumfangs ausmachen, wird der Leser an Individuen aus allen Ecken und Enden der Gesellschaft, vom Gangmitglied bis zum Spitzensportler, und an ihre Träume, ihre Kämpfe, und an ihr Leben herangeführt. Diese Sequenzen stellen für mich den eigentlichen Reiz dar und machen dieses Buch zu einem großartigen, unterhaltsamen und überaus treffend dargestellten Portrait über die Stadt der Engel.

5,0 z 5 gwiazdek STRIKE OUT FOR FREY
Opinia napisana we Włoszech dnia 12 września 2012
This books is quite, simply, one of the most ingenius ideas of the last years. Frey creates a fascinating mix of mini stories with the metropolitan area of Los Angeles as common background. As i just said, the idea works incredibly well. The book is very endearing since the first pages. Last but not least Frey put between the chapters a sort of mini phrases that speak about the history of Los Anglese since the foundation of the city. GET IT!!

5,0 z 5 gwiazdek Bright Shining Morning by James Frey
Opinia napisana w Wielkiej Brytanii dnia 30 sierpnia 2012
I so enjoyed this rollicking good book. Its style of writing and content is compulsive reading and, for me, an insight to the evolution of Los Angeles. I felt I knew all the characters personally by the time I turned the last page. Lov ed it and am awaiting 'A million Little Pieces' also by James Frey via Amazon so I am hoping I will n ot be disappointed.

Opinia napisana w Stanach Zjednoczonych dnia 14 sierpnia 2009
I truly loved, LOVED this book. I loved it so much I didn't want it to end. I actually had to slow my reading pace down to savor it a little longer. James Frey is an incredible writer and now one of my favorites. He has actually inspired me to write again.

My knowledge of James Frey prior to reading this book was from the national scandal pertaining to his faux memoir. I didn't have an opinion about him either way but I knew I didn't want to read that memoir. When a friend of mine recommended "Bright Shiny Morning," I thought of giving it a shot, especially that it was about my city--Los Angeles. I'm so glad I did.

I was immediately hooked by the captivating narrative and the rich and conflicted characters: the young midwestern eighteen-year-old couple that is California Dreamin', the high-powered, closeted Hollywood actor in love with another man, the Mexican-American girl trying to reconcile her dreams with reality and dealing with a body party she hates, the homeless man that spends his days waiting and wondering where his life went, the immigrants, the porn stars, the gangs, the poor, the rich and everyone in between that lives and dies in Los Angeles.

I was mostly impressed by the historical anecdotes of the city with which this book is rife and some of which I did verify. I can't even begin to imagine the amount of research that went into this splendid work of fiction.

I can literally go on and on about this book, but I'll leave you with this: BUY IT. READ IT. RE-READ IT. It will inspire your creativity and captivate your imagination.
