Título: Movie Game
Autor: Michael Ebner
Sinopse: It’s been three years since Joe’s father vanished. Now seventeen, he is unaware that government agents are watching him in case his dad makes contact. Joe is too distracted by his secret girlfriend, midnight swims in the pools of strangers, free drinks from his buddies at the movie game and the glamorous college student, Felicity. But his movie-esque existence and addiction to fiction is set to collide with a heavy dose of reality this summer when he discovers everything is not what it seems: his secret girlfriend wants to be the real thing. His college fling may have ulterior motives. And the government agents want co-operation to catch his missing father. All this and the three year old death of Joe’s first girlfriend Alice are going to cause him to face some dark truths. It’s no longer a movie game. This is his life and he wants to win. “Movie Game is exciting and fun to read. Joe is living what appears to be the dream life for a seventeen year old. Ebner’s writing style reminded me of James Patterson’s, short snappy sentences that keep you wanting more.”- San Francisco Book Review…“A cinephile's search for family, sex, and laughs, wrapped in a mystery. A fast-paced, humorous novel” – Kirkus Reviews… “Fast paced, funny and dark” – Portland Book Review…“The Brothers Coen would be proud” - J.O’Grady, Writers’ Guild Award Winner.
