Last year I read Perfect World by Brian James. And it changed my life. So I eagerly have been hunting down some of his other novels. Unfortunately Pure Sunshine disappointed. Maybe I just had my standards to high. The story was easy enough to get into and it had me turning pages at a reasonable pace right to the very end. But it didn't really have a point or some greater story. It was like coming in at the middle of a show watching fifteen minutes and then leaving so you miss the ending. You're able to immerse yourself for the time being but never really get the whole story. Disappointing effort. ( )

book started out with some promise. THen never seemed to develop. Keep waiting for something to happen and then there was a fight amoung friends and that seem to be it. Not a how lot going on with a lot of detail about the nothingness going on. ( )

A good quick read.

I've never really forgotten certain parts of it. ( )

This is one of my other favorite books. On one hand it is about drug use, but on the other it's not. It's about a guy trying to figure things out, and who can't relate to that? ( )
