Bright, Precious Days by Jay McInerney
3.0
READ BRIGHNESS FALLS BEFORE YOU READ THIS BOOK!!!!
Really wanted this to be as good as Brightness Falls but it was very lackluster and just seemed like a repeat of BF without an actual plot. I love Russell and Corrine and wanted to read more of them but they both end up being rotten and Russell can't catch a break which is really sad.
Jack is Jeff with less character and far less importance to the rest of the characters and that's also sad. Last point this book should have been published in 08 ... it's far less relevant now in both time period and for character reference from Brightness Falls. The book was still a decent read but that is all. I hate doing somewhat negative reviews... this book probably would have got two stars if I had not just read Brightness Falls.(which you should read before reading this)
I am doing my Drunken Book Review Podcast on this book with my drunken cohorts and it will be available soon on Underpassreview.com I promise to be even more detailed with how I feel about the book on there and also be more drunk than I am currently.
love you so much,
