I have just written a 223 word comment that I was about to post on this page, but then for obvious reasons decided not to post it. But I just want to say (in fewer words than before) how much of an inspiration and hero I see James as, his books got me through this last year because I knew how insignificant my problems were compared to the ones James had and managed to live through! I am a 14 year old girl and because of him I already know what I want to do with my life. I want to be there for people who desperately need help (like James did) so I’m going to take psychology to be a psychiatrist and work in a rehab centre. James you are truly an amazing human being and I hope you are proud of yourself and your achievements. (sorry this is so long)

Totally, best book I’ve ever read hands down. Any teen can relate. I’m 17 years old from Canada, we smoke pot here and just that gave me enough to relate. No doubt he’s a powerful writer. Never learned so much from a book. I might be young but it doesn’t take age to see this book is genius. Fake or not, it was gold.

As above, I have no idea if James Frey reads these comments.

I don’t care if any part of A Million Little Pieces was made up: I feel like it’s a book that makes people rethink what they know about addiction. More so than any other addiction book, this book really moved me. I don’t take drugs and I don’t drink alcohol, but this book made me truly and wholly empathise with you, and it has made me respect my body and mind more.

I read this book at a very emotionally difficult time in my life, and it put everything into perspective.

Mr Frey, thankyou for writing this book: I know you’ve shaped many people’s lives for the better because of it, and the comments on this page only scratch the surface.

This book has changed my life: this is why authors write and this is why people read.

I just finmished reading A Million Little Pieces. I think even though it wasn’t completely true, it makes people think and it will definately push people away from drugs. I thought it was brilliant. I have siblings who have done drugs in the past and I’m making them read this book so they can get an idea of how awful life can be if they continue to the hardcore stuff. This book was very moving and I loved it. I am going to continue to read your books. Thank you.

James.. You probably are not going to read this by yourself but I say it anyway.. I’m from Holland. I have read your book, In Duizend Stukjes (That’s the Dutch version), many times.. A few weeks ago I was in a bookstore, and I found the original one, A Million Little Pieces, in English. I LOVE this one even more more more!

I don’t care if it’s true or made up.. It doesn’t make a difference of how your book changed my thoughts.. I really like your style.. I heard you say in an interview there were book’s that infected your life.. You certainly changed mine.

I know my grammer isn’t the best, but i know you understand what i want to say, and that’s the most important..

My young adult son received this book from a friend and after reading it, suggested that I read it too because in his words “It’s that good”. I agree. Despite the controversy regarding the validity of the story, I found it absolutely troubling, inspiring and heart wrenching. Critics, you just keep criticizing, it won’t make a bit of difference…this is a powerful and moving book.
