Once I read the vignette about Perez Hilton (that hideous hack of a celeb blogger), I stopped reading the book. I came to this site to email James Frey and ask for a refund. I bought this book to see if Frey was a real author. I have since learned that he is not. One of the worst books I have ever read.

KIng and they are not worse than you and me. You don't like it, some people love it, a lot of people love it... And they do not judge you. You have to respect them too... It's not because a book is not awarded that it is not good... One million Pieces was book of the year for the NY Times and the Guardian. It's a good book for me, a wonderful book!

I believe his books have helped people with addictions, no matter which things were true or false in his books. And he writes with such raw emotion. He can describe the worst type of person( in our collective stereotype) with love, compassion, and humor. His characters are so multi-faceted. I love them all. And I love their creator :) I need to include two more VERY important thoughts. I believe his books have helped people with addictions, no matter which things were true or false in his books.

This man is such an amazing storyteller. After reading this particular book one would imagine a much older person wrote it. But I think Mr. Frey has packed in a lot more years for his age than many of us. When I read My Friend Leonard I was working as an RN on a busy heart unit. Never brought a book to work, no way! But I couldn't put it down, brought it to work, grabbed any minute to spare to read, read it during lunch. First and last time I ever brought a book to work. That's how compelling he is. I'm tired of all the criticism of this guy. I was a little upset at first with the all the talk about his first book but my reason was because I was so emotionally invested in it, as I'm sure many others were. It was heart-wrenching. I cried for him all through the book. Bottom line for me- it doesn't matter. We desperately need good writers! he's brilliant. And I'm glad he's young! Lots more stories to tell. Keep them coming, James! Fabulous read! And read again! This man is such an amazing storyteller. After reading this particular book one would imagine a much older person wrote it.

I just finished reading bright shiny morning. I was in the toilet at work with the door closed because i was down to my last 7 pages. You inspire me to be a better person; I am a better person because of you. I know who you are through My Friend Leonard and a million little pieces and I can’t thank you enough. I have been lucky my whole life, great family, great job, popular with friends and couldn’t possibly want more. But every time I drink alcohol I feel the addiction creeping up on my uncontrollably. It runs through my family. Your books saved me before I needed to be saved. And to you I will always be forever grateful. Im not religious in anyway but God bless you James Frey! Stacey x My name is Stacey.

I am someone who reads Literature at University and to be honest your comments on this truly talented author are beyond ridiculous. You clearly are not intelligent enough to grasp modern works of art. It is also 'abominable' that you only read books that have won awards, how sad; you are missing out on so many beautiful novels. James Frey is an outstanding raw talent and I eagerly wait for the next novel. I totally agree Steve.

Wow, you must be so fulfilled in your life! But of course, you only read beautiful books that won the booker or the nobel prize! How silly of me to question someone of your obvious and boundless intellect, in fact I should be thanking you for enlightening us intellectual pigmys with the might of your brain power. Whoa, we truly are blessed by the shining light of a well read cretin. It's 'abomination' not 'admonination' idiot. Or don't you have to be able to spell to win the booker?
