Book: Bright Shiny Morning
Author: James Frey
Reviewer: William L. Page, NC State alumni, class of 1983

The story takes place in Los Angeles and has four story lines.  A homeless person, a young couple from Ohio, an immigrant Mexican, and a mega famous movie star. They are all chasing something in LA and encounter some tremendous struggles.  The book also mixes some very cool facts and history about the city of Angels.  What I especially like is the ending, one happy, one tragic, and two kind of in-between.  Try it — it’s fast, it’s engaging, and unique!
