A great book thats hard to put down
Over the years, I wondered how hard it actually is to over come a drug addiction. A Million Little Pieces portrayed a terrific perspective on rehab and the recovery process.A Million Little Pieces is one of my favorite all-time books because you are really feeling James pain in graphic, yet thrilling scenes. James Frey writes as himself as he enters the second phase of his life: rehab. You can really get into A Million Little Piecess because the problems he faces in A Million Little Pieces are life threatening and so unusual.
In the past, I have never read a book that is more inspiring. A Million Little Pieces showed that nothing is impossible if you try. James was put into a situation in which he was days away from dying. Each and everyday, he took small steps in his recovery and ... Read More
Breathtaking
I loved A Million Little Pieces, novel, memoir, whatever you want to call it. No matter how you want to put it, the words on the pages of this were heartbreaking, meaningful and powerful to the nth degree. Frey obviously had the talent to tell the story to illicit the most of the reader's emotions. To sum it up, one of the best books I have ever read, true or not.
2 1/2. Way over hyped
"A Million Little Pieces" by James Frey
James Frey awakens to find himself on a commercial airliner bound for Chicago. Apparently he has been placed on the plane by a doctor and will be met by his parents when he lands who will deliver him to one of the best addiction treatment centers in the country. Although only 23, James' addiction to alcohol and crack amongst other things has done substantial damage to his body and if he doesn't quit now it isn't likely that he will see 24.
As a stand alone "Fiction" book, "A Million Little pieces" isn't too bad. As a factual memoir it isn't too great. Obviously since its release Frey has come out and admitted that many parts of the book were embellished. My only question is how ... Read More
Was interested in the beginning.. badly written fiction.
His intense descriptions about his addiction captured me through the first 50 pages or so and then after that, I had to MAKE myself read. I'm now on page 100 or so and this will probably be the first book I stop reading in the middle. It's extremely repetitive and horribly fake.
Great even as fiction
This is still a book I would recommended to my friends...alright it's a fiction read...it still is a great read.
