Найти книгу: "The Notorious Pagan Jones"

Pagan Jones went from America's sweetheart to fallen angel in one fateful night in 1960: the night a car accident killed her whole family. Pagan was behind the wheel and driving drunk.Nine months later, she's stuck in the Lighthouse Reformatory for Wayward Girls and tortured by her guilt–not to mention the sadistic Miss Edwards, who takes special delight in humiliating the once-great Pagan Jones.But all of that is about to change. Pagan's old agent shows up with a mysterious studio executive, Devin Black, and an offer. Pagan will be released from juvenile detention if she accepts a juicy role in a comedy directed by award-winning director Bennie Wexler. The shoot starts in West Berlin in just three days. If Pagan's going to do it, she has to decide fast–and she has to agree to a court-appointed «guardian,» the handsome yet infuriating Devin, who's too young, too smooth and too sophisticated to be some studio flack.The offer's too good to be true, Berlin's in turmoil and Devin Black knows way too much about her–there's definitely something fishy going on. But if anyone can take on a divided city, a scheming guardian and the criticism of a world that once adored her, it's the notorious Pagan Jones. What could go wrong?

Mida teha, kui sobranna kuuekumnenda ja armukese kolmekumnenda sunnipaeva pidu juhtuvad samale paevale? Kumb on parem, kas surra Botoxi katte voi uksindusest, et oled nii kortsus? Kas netikohtingul sobib end nooremaks valetada? Kas emal on ebaeetiline lasta endale foonisoeng teha, kui lapsel on taid peas? Kas on normaalne jatta lugemisprillid edevusest ette panemata, kui endast palju noorema armukese peast taisid otsid? Kas dalai-laama sautsub omal kael voi kaib assistent tema eest Twitteris? Kas on normaalne, et mida rohkem sautse, seda vahem jalgijaid? Kas tehnoloogia on tanapaeval viies loodusjoud? Voi on viies loodusjoud hoopis puit? Kui maarida taidlusefektiga huulegeeli katele, kas sormed muutuvad siis taidlaseks? Kas tanapaeval parast kaht kohtingut ja kuut nadalat sonumineerimist kellegagi voodisse minna teeb sama valja, mis Jane Austini paevil parast kaht kohtingut ja kuut kuud kirjavahetust abielluda? Mitmesuguste kaasaegsete probleemidega kimpus, pistab Bridget Jones rinda leina, uksikemaduse, sautsumise, sonumineerimise ja tehnoloogiasaavutustega ning taasavastab oma seksuaalsust, ja seda koike – hoiatus, kohe tuleb halva kolaga vanamoodne valjend! – keskeas. Neliteist aastat valdanud vaikuse jarel voidukalt lagedale ilmunud „Bridget Jones: poisi jarele hull“ on ajakohane, liigutav, orn, lummav, teravmeelne, elutark ja hirmus naljakas raamat.

Autoril on kaks last ja ta elab Londonis, vahetevahel ka Los Angeleses . 448 lk
