[Frey, James] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Bright Shiny Morning (P.S.) Review: Another Frey Masterpiece - It's no secret that I'm a long-time James Frey fan. Before he was O-famous, he and I emailed several times, and I'm privileged to have an autographed copy of A Million Little Pieces. I was excited when I learned he was coming out with a new novel, and pre-ordered it months ahead on desertcart.com. I knew I wasn't going to read another Little Pieces story, but having read the editor's description of the book before ordering, I wasn't sure what I was going to read. And now I know that the editor probably had a hard time describing this book because it is so unique that it almost defies description. Just like A Million Little Pieces and My Friend Leonard, Bright Shiny Morning pulls you into its pages and won't let you go even after you've read every word. Frey does an excellent job in building characters you truly feel like you know, though you also come to understand you probably wouldn't even glance at them if you walked by them on the street, with the exception of the world famous actor. He tells many stories in this book - and though the characters of each story aren't connected, he manages to connect them through his ability to make you care about each individual. He uses the history of Los Angeles almost like "rest areas" between these stories -- he bounces back and forth between scenarios and characters and just when you can't wait to learn what happens next, he throws in new characters in smaller vignettes that have nothing to do with what you've already read, but just gives you more and more to savor and contemplate. Now I understand why his publishing house had such a difficult time describing this book. It sounds SO complicated and fractured, but trust me, it's not. It is a totally unique piece of fiction and another Frey masterpiece. It is probably unlike anything you've ever read before, and certainly unlike any of the ho-hum out-of-new-ideas-but-still-a-bestselling-author titles currently on the bestseller list. This book is currently #52 on desertcart's list, but it's definitely #1 on mine. Buy this book. I believe you'll probably still be able to buy a 1st Edition, 1st printing copy. Read it. Savor it. Then put it away. At some point in time James Frey is going to gain the acceptance and recognition from the literary world that he so deserves, and you're going to have a collector's item on your hands. Trust me on this one. The O-crap may have made him temporarily famous, but his unique writing style and storytelling are going to make him a Pulitzer Prize winner at some point. It's just a matter of time. Review: An original and light LA Story - As a resident of Los Angeles, this was certainly enjoyable from the perspective of getting to learn so much about my city, in the midst of the man story lines. Frey's decision to reinvent punctuation eventually took on a personality unto itself and seemed to present a lot of the story with a kind of urgency, unhindered by the conventions of quotes and full stops. It quickly melts away from conspicuousness and puts the story front and center. This book, which examines a small collection of personal story threads that do not really intertwine beyond being part of the fabric that is Los Angeles, is for the most part compelling. That said, I feel that the characters, though enriched enough to derive our compassion, are not fully three dimensional. They all operate simplistically and while we see a good deal in the way of their actions, we get less of a sense of what they think and feel (perhaps with the exception of Esperanza). The interludes of L.A. facts are entertaining and informative, although there are times in some of the other chapters (U.S. Veteran's being one) where I felt he was bogged down by his chosen writing convention. Perhaps such chapters were meant more as art pieces as a whole, because reading them was virtually impossible without sighing and saying, alright, alright, I get it i get it i get it. I dropped a star because the book's finish wasn't quite satisfying. It felt unfinished. But perhaps their stories are similarly unfinished. Highly recommended for those who live in LA or have a fascination with this huge, odd, remarkable city. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #852,329 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,898 in Fiction Urban Life #3,669 in Fiction Satire #13,777 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (1,010) | | Dimensions | 5.31 x 0.87 x 8 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 0061573175 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0061573170 | | Item Weight | 15.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 544 pages | | Publication date | May 12, 2009 | | Publisher | Harper Perennial | ## Images ![Bright Shiny Morning (P.S.) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pHWI1IWOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another Frey Masterpiece *by J***H on May 28, 2008* It's no secret that I'm a long-time James Frey fan.

The syntax. The trivia about LA. Some characters feel summarized and even cold. I got a kick out of Amberton's narcissism. That seemed most real. I appreciate his attempt to portray Mexican immigrants and their children in East LA. I think the author should actually hang around Mexicans before he writes about them. Not one Mexican is thanked at the end of the book. Disappointed but expected it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/11043832-bright-shiny-morning-p-s](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/11043832-bright-shiny-morning-p-s) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
