Bøger af James Frey

Endgame er i gang. Om mindre end 80 dage vil en gigantisk meteor ramme Jorden. Det er alles kamp mod alle, samarbejde udvikler sig til venskab, og venskab bliver til kærlighed – men kun én slægt kan overleve.Da Sarah Alopay kom først i kampen om at finde Jordnøglen, var hverken hun eller de otte andre overlevende Spillere klar over, at det netop var dét, der for alvor ville starte Endgame og gøre Jordens undergang uundgåelig.Nu er der ingen vej tilbage: Kampen om Himmelnøglen er i gang. To Spillere ved tilsyneladende allerede, hvor den er gemt. Andre er mere opsatte på at stjæle Jordnøglen fra Sarah, mens flere kun tænker på hævn og hvordan de kan slå de andre Spillere ihjel.Og i det nordlige Etiopien sidder en Spiller og konspirerer mod selveste Himmelfolket – keplerne - i fortsat overbevisning om, at Endgame stadig kan afværges.Himmelnøglen er anden del af den hæsblæsende Endgame-trilogi, hvor læserne inviteres til at spille med.Endgame en storstilet skattejagt, der omfatter hele kloden.

Ligesom i første bind skifter vi hele tiden fortæller, og selvom det kan være lidt forvirrende til tider, er flowet i bogen rigtig godt.«– Lektør, uge 44»På trods af en historie i et utroligt højt tempo, formår forfatterne på magisk vis stadig at holde handlingen klar og detaljeret.[…] Endnu en ting, der er så fed ved 'Himmelnøglen': den er fuldstændig uforudsigelig.«(4/5 stjerner) – wondrousbibliophile.blogspot.dk»Stadig lige så vild med jeres skrivestil, og jeres brug af opbrudte sætninger og linjeskift. Jeg synes det passer perfekt ind i en så actionfyldt bog, hvor man skiftevis følger forskellige karakterer.«– kaeredig.blogspot.dk»Det er essensen af Endgame, og kampen mellem de gamle familiers unge repræsentanter intensiveres yderligere […] En god historie, når man først har fået styr på karaktererne.«– Birte Strandby, Bogvægten

Kun syv Spillere er tilbage i kampen om at vinde Endgame og dermed sikre deres egen og deres slægts overlevelse, mens alle andre må dø.Jordnøglen og Himmelnøglen er allerede fundet, så det er kun Solnøglen, der står mellem én af Spillerne og sejren. Fem af Spillerne kæmper for livet: Sammen vil de forhindre, at Solnøglen bliver fundet. Men Maccabee har stirret sig blind på at vinde, og intet skal berøve ham sejren. An Liu derimod spiller kun for døden, hans eneste mål er at stoppe Endgame og tage hele verden med sig i faldet. Uanset hvad de spiller for, har de alle sammen én ting til fælles: De er villige til at dø for at opnå deres mål.Tredje og sidste del af den hæsblæsende Endgame-trilogi, hvor læserne inviteres til at spille med.Endgame er en storstilet skattejagt, der omfatter hele kloden.

Der er action og spænding på hver side, og aldrig et stille øjeblik.«- Bookeater

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER'Inspirational and essential' Bret Easton Ellis, author of American Psycho'Poignant and tragic' The Spectator'Easily the most remarkable non-fiction book about drugs and drug taking since Hunter S Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' ObserverJames Frey wakes up on a plane, with no memory of the preceding two weeks. His face is cut and his body is covered with bruises. He has no wallet and no idea of his destination. He has abused alcohol and every drug he can lay his hands on for a decade - and he is aged only twenty-three. What happens next is one of the most powerful and extreme stories ever told. His family takes him to a rehabilitation centre. And James Frey starts his perilous journey back to the world of the drug and alcohol-free living. His lack of self-pity is unflinching and searing. A Million Little Pieces is a dazzling account of a life destroyed and a life reconstructed. It is also the introduction of a bold and talented literary voice.

While in rehab, James Frey finds a father figure in a shady mafia boss called Leonard. When Leonard returns to his dubious, prosperous life in the criminal underworld of Las Vegas, he promises James his support on the outside. Tragedy strikes the day James is released and his world seems set to implode. Unsure where to turn, he calls Leonard. Paradoxically, it is in Leonard's lawless underworld that James discovers the courage and humanity needed to rebuild his life.

'An absolute triumph of a novel' Guardian'Compulsive' IndependentWelcome to L.A. City of contradictions. It is home to movie stars and down-and-outs. Palm-lined beaches and gridlock. Shopping sprees and gun sprees. Bright Shiny Morning takes a wild ride through the ultimate metropolis, where glittering excess rubs shoulders with seedy depravity. Frey's trademark filmic snapshots zoom in on the parallel lives of diverse characters, bringing their egos and ideals, hopes and despairs, anxieties and absurdities vividly to life. Some suffer, like the otherworldly wino who tries to save a spoilt teenage runaway. Others gain, like the canny talent agent who turns sexual harassment to blackmailing advantage. Some are loaded, or grounded, and have luck on their side. Others, like the countless actresses-turned-hookers, or schoolboys-turned-gangsters, are doomed.

James Frey isn't like other writers. He's been called a liar. A cheat. A con man. He's been called a saviour. A revolutionary. A genius. He's been sued by readers. Dropped by publishers because of his controversies. Berated by TV talk-show hosts and condemned by the media. He's been exiled from America, and driven into hiding. He's also a bestselling phenomenon. Published in 38 languages, and beloved by readers around the world. What scares people about Frey is that he plays with truth; that fine line between fact and fiction. Now he has written his greatest work, his most revolutionary, his most controversial. The Final Testament of the Holy Bible.What would you do if you discovered the Messiah were alive today? Living in New York. Sleeping with men. Impregnating young women. Euthanizing the dying, and healing the sick. Defying the government, and condemning the holy. What would you do if you met him? And he changed your life. Would you believe? Would you?The Final Testament of the Holy Bible . It will change you. Hurt you. Scare you. Make you think differently. Live differently Enrage you. Offend you. Open your eyes to the world in which we live. We've waited 2,000 years for the Messiah to arrive. We've waited 2,000 years for this book to be written. He was here. The Final Testament of the Holy Bible is the story of his life.
