teeth chapter very graphic-should be put on the dental curriculum!

Brutal!

I have added this to my wishlist…

I’m a 17 year old, soon to be 18 female living in Canada… I’m not sure if that matters but, I’d just like to say, I’ve read both A Million Little Pieces and My Friend Leonard and I loved them both. I think James has taken a lot of criticism. But despite a bit of false information, I thought the books were amazing and I’d like to say that James is a very talented man and I think he should be given better recognition. I’m not the only one who agrees. I have about 10 other friends who would agree with me. ONE MORE THING, I hate how I search for quotes from both books and all I can find is how he fucked up, I just want quotes instead of going back and analyzing every page of both books. Kay, I’m done. Thanks.

I love James Frey. He’s a writer of the purest form, so who cares if he embellished. He was emphasising his point. Most stories these days true or otherwise are full of embellishment!
I am so glad to have read both A Million Little Pieces and My Friend Leonard and after finishing both I find myself missing the way Frey writes.
All I can say is I cannot wait to start reading Bright Shiny Morning!
Keep writing Mr Frey, your books are compulsive…

I can’t get over the positive feedback on this site!! First let me say that yes, this is a GREAT BOOK; however, as a recovering crack addict who manage to find my way out without AA what inspired me about the book was how his point of view so closely mirrored my own. Now to discover that it was untrue…that I wept (litterally) for this man, his family and his friends, I can’t help but to feel completely deceived. I would have gotten just as much from “A Million Little Pieces” if it had been presented as primarily a work of fiction, but it wasn’t. As I’m sure anyone who has gone through an addiction and detox, and read this book can relate to, there were many times while reading that I wondered if all of it was true, but it seemed so real and brutally honest that I allowed myself to be taken in. As I look back now, what angers me most is the section where he talks about watching a movie about a woman dealing with addiction who recovers and ends up with the doctor that saved her from herself. He was so angry that anyone would have the nerve to sugar coat what happens to an addict. He may not of sugar coated anything, but his lies were just as damaging. If, through your recovery, you don’t learn to be honest about your life and the things you’ve done (by niether neglecting to own up to your behavior or making yourself and your addiction greater than it was), then how can you say you’ve truely recovered?

this is the best book i ever read in my life!! it moved me….

Thank you James. I turned my life around and the next day started reading Million Little Pieces. Your book (life) has taught me so much and I was able to understand that I made the best decision by walking away from all the known (but actually unknown) to me. I would have died, but now I am alive. I have started a new life, and I have never been happier. I don’t regret what I have done, but regret what I have done to other people. Your book (life) will always remain in my heart and I know that it will save some more !!! Thanks. Your friend..Danie (Cape Town, South Africa)

Hye James if by any chance you are reading this, i loved your book and really i just cannot get over it. Its hearttouching and heartbreaking.
Love Mia

ps: i miss lily

James, I read A Million Little Pieces and My Friend Leonard 2 years ago and they are still with me. They are amazing books and it matters not a hoot if there are parts that aren’t true. They are still the best books I have read in a long time. I just started reading Bright Shiny Morning - I’m glad it’s long because I don’t want it to end.
I’m writing this kind of like a fan letter because I feel as though I should have written one to you after the Oprah controversy.
Take care,Louise

For me, reading about a personal struggle with addiction, in whatever form or genre, truly takes my breathe away.
Embellished or not, having the ability to tell such a story and repair a desperately shattered life, is only deserving of praise and respect.
I cried and laughed my way through a million little pieces. For the people James hurt, for the new friends he made and for the new man he turned into.
Frey’s writing style is something I can only dream of achieving and his absolute strength and character is something I will always look up to.

I can’t wait to read the rest of his work.

Bright Shiny Morning is such a fabulous read - I still cherish AMLP and MFL! Will there be a movie made of any of the books? James, many thanks for all you’ve done for SO many people!

hi james i saw your book in tesco’s and I’m ashamed to say I had never heard of you. I am so glad i bought a million little peices it was either that or bread and milk no. Who needs bread and milk. I couldnt put the book down and i am now reading My frienc Leonard. The only thing I was dissapointed in was at the end of a million little peices it told you what happened to th other addicts. I would have prefered to read My friend Leoard to find out. Other than that your the greatest.

i am the exact same as the previous comment!! i had never seen your book(a milion little pieces) before or even heard of u but im so glad i read it now! its unreal! and although there has been a lot of controversy and altered details, the book holds strong because, although some facts aren’t actually facts, the message of the book is strong throughout! its a masterpiece and i have just begun my friend leonard and i am loving it!

u know what i hate more than anything?
that when i type in “James Frey” on google…i have to go to the SECOND page to get to this damn website…

gosh, ppl need to lay off your case and just appreciate your fantastic writing.

Keep doing what you’re doing, James. You have been an inspiration to many.

I read your book AMLP just now and MFL last year, I discovered them late…and in the wrong order…! I LOVE the way that they are written.
I live in Sweden and today I was looking for the new book but it`s not translated nor published in Sweden yeat… I can hardly wait…! You are a genius mr J.Frey just keep it coming.
