Pure Sunshine by Brian James

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.

Zombie Blondes by Brian James

Perfect World by Brian Masino

I love how Brian James writes. It's almost in prose and it's very intense and hard hitting, especially on such controversial subjects as sexuality in minors, homelessness, and drug abuse. He's such a wonderful writer!
