Publisher's Summary:
"Release" er den mest personlige roman, Patrick Ness har skrevet. Det er en rrende historie om 17-rige Adam, som prver at acceptere sig selv som homoseksuel i en ekstremt religis familie.
Adams far, den lokale prst, vil ikke have en sn, som er bsse. Adams tidligere kreste, Enzo, siger, at det de havde sammen ikke var rigtig krlighed. Adams bedste ven, Angela, som er en af de f, der elsker og accepterer ham, er ved at flytte til Holland.
P ét dgn bliver Adam konfronteret med alle de ting, som gr allermest ondt, men inden solen str op, sker der noget, som giver ham styrken til at give slip p smerten og se p sig selv p en ny mde. Imens Adam prver at finde sin identitet, prver et magtfuldt vsen fra underverdenen at hjlpe en forvirret og vildfaren sjl til at give slip.
"Release" er en smuk og velskrevet sammenfletning af disse parallelle historier, der p hver deres mde omhandler en frigrelse / det at give slip.

Perfect. In every way. Patrick Ness has captured beauty within these pages like a rose encased in glass. Read it, for your own sake.
Judy Blume would be proud.
Patrick Ness is a gifted storyteller who never disappoints. These characters are so real and accessible.
Five Stars
Excellent
A poignant story, with a wonderful plot. Iâll have to look out for Patrick Ness from now on.
Release, is quite an unusual story in that it follows two plots which eventually meet. Now that may not be something different, but these two stories are set in different worlds (sort of). The real world, and the spirit world.
We meet Adam, a young, gay man trying to just be himself and live his life, but he has the added upset of people not understanding his sexuality, including his religious parents. He also has serious problems with his boss making advances towards him, and an ex which he canât seem to let go of, even-though he has a boyfriend, Linus, and his ex Enzo is dating someone else.
He has the most wonderful best friend Angela, but he doesnât know how to be comfortable in himself, when others arenât comfortable or accepting towards him.
In the spirit world we meet a murdered, teenage drug addict, who has come out of the river and wants vengeance on her killer in the small town.
By the time I had turned the last page I realised that I had found a book that quite a few people will be able to relate to. Adamâs story is told so vividly that sometimes it felt like I was in the story, not reading it. It makes you stop and think; hopefully books like this will make people realise that everybody has the right to be whoever they want to be, gay, straight, bi, etc, and no-one has the right to be judgemental about it.
The book is completely unusual and strange, plus a little confusing in parts. I havenât read any of Patrick Nessâs work before, but apparently that is his style of writing, moving away from the conventional â I like it.
A poignant story, with a wonderful plot.
