“The most lacerating tale of drug addiction since William S. Burroughs’ Junky.” —The Boston Globe
“Again and again, the book delivers recollections that leave the reader winded and unsteady. James Frey’s staggering recovery memoir could well be seen as the final word on the topic.”—San Francisco Chronicle
“A brutal, beautifully written memoir.”—The Denver Post
“Gripping . . . A great story . . . You can’t help but cheer his victory.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review

The underlying story behind A million little pieces
Before buying the book I was well aware of the community's outburst on his over exaggeration and how it brings those who go through rehab to shame yet despite all this, I still found the book quite an enjoyable read. Having said that, the main reasons I really enjoyed this book is becuase it is of my first reads into the worlds of rehab and memoirs of alcoholism which is why i probably feel that perhaps his exaggeration was intentional for readers to understand his perception that addiction is of mans fault, not something in your genetics or any type of disease, it was in the persons hand and I truly believe in that idea becuase there still may be hope without the use of AA and the 12 steps.
The book shows of a man who is a misguided soul from the very first day he was born, All his memories and recollections are always associated with drugs and alcohol even as young as the age of 10! That is all james frey knew in his life, Drugs and Alcohol. At 23 when his body was ready to die out on him he decided to give life a chance and entered this rehab facility where he decided that he could try and change. It wasn't an easy battle at all yet his struggle was so raw you really understood the depth of his addiction and his struggle and understand as he puts his guards down where the source of addiction really came from.
It is an eye opener of a book and still worth reading especially for people who would like to learn more about the world of addiction.

Fiction Or Not, It's A Great Read!
I really enjoyed this book even with all the controversy surrounding it. It really does have a little bit of everything in it and it was one I couldn't put down. I would highly recommend it, especially for anyone who has either been through treatment or been close to someone who has.
