Truly a great piece of work. Kept me held till the end. If this book helps one person succeed at becoming clean, then it has served its purpose.

I do have one question, the book Tao Te Ching that is referenced, who is the author. I must have missed it somewhere, if anyone can help. Thanks.

I read both a million little pieces and my friend leonard, they were nothing short of amazing! Though theres been a lot of drama surounding him and the false statements, he is still a brilliant writer, you can tell.. he was just born to be a writer. I love him and support him and i hope for many many books by him to come.

P.S. Gotta go pick up bright shiny morning

hey i’m julia. i’m from germany. i read a million little pieces and it was the best book i ever read and it is the best book i am ever going to read. a million little pieces is written so wonderful. i read it the first time and it took me 1 month. the next time i read it, it took me 3 days. i don’t leave the house without taking a million little pieces along. it has answers in it i am not even sure if they are supposed to be answers. james frey is a brilliant writer, he sure is the best these days. when i read my friend leonard and lilly died not one day passed without me crying about it and i still do. i am honored that james frey shared his past with us and i don’t care if he changed details or if he changed it completely cause for me it is the truth. it is the only truth for me.
take care.

I agree - I didn’t care whether it was non-fiction or fiction. The fact is that I grew up with an alcoholic father who died from drinking himself into an early grave. It touched my heart. Looks like it touched many other hearts. Maybe James misrepresented himself due to some errors in advice from some people, but forgiveness is important, and it also remains that it is a powerful message that helps people with a very real problem. May God Bless James and everyone who reads his book.

And I too stayed awake until it was read….

Its a rarity to find a book, that makes someone go through such a spectrum of emotion, I don’t care what the critics say, as a memoir it is as true to the author as it as true to the reader - thats what makes it so sadly beautiful to read.
Thanks for letting us into your raw young world Mr Frey.

I LOVE A MILLION LITTLE PIECES!!! I was kept up for three nights reading it! I just couldn’t get enough! It’s not like reading a book it’s more like having the conversation. James writes like you are right there listening to his stories! Truely amazing! AND My Friend Leonard, ok let me just tell you again I was kept up till the wee hrs in the morning, what a twist!!!! It was so emotional! I cried and cried I couldn’t even see the pages anymore! Fabulous Job! I’m looking forward to reading more! I also just wanted to say who gives a shit if it’s true or made up or embelished they are great reads regardless and should be recognized as that! Whoever has the time to go looking for ways to discredit the books frankly has way to much time on their hands and perhaps is a little jelous at their own failed attempts at writing a book?? Just a thought!!

Keep up the excellent work James!!! I am anxiously awaiting a new book!

I have just read a ‘million little pieces’. There is very little I could write in this space that hasn’t already been said or would do this book justice… yet I still feel complelled to write something. truely moving, inspirational and heartbreaking. I laughed and I cried. James Frey is my new favorite author.

I read a Million Little Pieces and loved it. I have just bought Bright Shiny Morning and look forward to reading it. I bought it because Oprah was such an idiot about A Million Little Pieces I thought I will buy any of his books so he continues to be a success. So he may have “fudged” stuff - couldn’t remember everything - so what - who cares, it’s a book - and still very entertaining. Keep writing James, I will always buy your books. I still like Oprah - but, give me a break - over-reaction or what. IT’S A BOOK. Not brain surgery.
