I almost liked this more than the first one. It’s fascinating to see him try to cope in the outside world, and Leonard is amazing. Also surprisingly funny!

this and a million little pieces bought tears and laughter to my life. Absolutely amazing.

a million little pieces is the best book i have ever read. i still cant put it down.

Damn good book.

I was moved to tears after reading my friend Leonard. a million tiny pieces is also an amazing book and everyone should read them!

I have honestly read a million little pieces seven times now. I think Ill have another go at it now. WORK OF ART!!!!!!

WOW!!!

Have finished ‘My Friend Leonard’ yet but it won’t be long - a very good piece of semi-fiction. I can’t believe all this crap I’m seeing about the MLP furore - surely if somebody gets pleasure from a book, it doesn’t matter whether the truth has been tweaked a bit? Some people will complain about anything.

This book puts me in mind of ‘Vernon God Little’ somehow, except Vernon really doesn’t exist and is way more stupid. Looking forward to MLP and BSM Nice work James.

i am a heroin and crack addict i am going to rehab in 2 days your book gave me the inspiration to choose life and stop living in the darkness i live in south Africa where there is poverty and quite a large amount of drug abuse. i believe it takes an addict to know and empathize with one. most critics give there say cause they are told by their bosses and what everyone else wants them to say. those who actually stand up and be different to what society says we have to be i salute you.

this is an amazing book! who cares if it’s a memoir or fiction? regardless, the book gives everyone an appreciation for the small and simple pleasures in life that we all tend to overlook. thank you, james frey, for opening my eyes.

Merci ,merci pour ce texte magnifique que j’ai terminé cette nuit et que de larmes versées à la fin de MON AMI LEONARD,c’est un livre débordant de tendresse,de désespoir mais où l’espoir renaît face à deux êtres qui nous prouvent que l’amitié entre deux êtres existe une belle amitié qui se moque des préjugés .Merci pour ce bonheur donné à la lecture de ce livre qui mérite d’être lu ,d’être offert à tous ceux et celles qui ne croient plus en la vie .Je vous aime James Frey vous êtes mon ami et ma porte et mon coeur vous sont ouverts à jamais moi qui était désespérée quand votre livre est arrivé dans mes mains MERCI de la part de Dominique une femme qui aurait aimé être aimé comme Lilly.Merci

Have just just finished reading little pieces for third time and Leonard for the first. I have absolutely no care for the is it/isn’t true saga. These books are fantastic, amongst my all time favourites and I will re-read them til I die!

Thank you James

I really really really enjoyed this book James! It is insightful honest and has left us insight into your heart! I think it is a vvery courageous endevour to be able to perform this because you are leaving yourself open and vulnerable and there is beauty in this. This book made me want to live my life fuller as who I am regardless of what anyone thinks or says. It made me want to friend like Leonard who encourages u to always be the best of who you are. This novel speaks truth on so many levels but one message that I really took away was that sometimes when you think you are just living, you really are an inspiration to others just by being all of who you are!

Thank you for letting us into your heart!

Hi. I just finished reading My Friend Leonard 5 minutes ago. I am still in tears. Its crazy how much a book can affect someone. Your writing is amazing. I feel like I know the characters. Once I am done writing this I am going to search Bright Shiny Morning and buy that online and start reading that ASAP too. You are inspiring. You are my favorite author by far. I can’t wait to see what you come up with next.

Thank you for your beautiful writing.

I’ve just finished reading both books…Pieces and Leonard. I absolutely loved them and read them both in 5 days straight. I think I preferred Leonard as it was slightly less intense than Pieces. Even so the best books I’ve read in a long long time

whoa. “a million little pieces” has to be the most amazing book i’ve ever read. i absolutely loved it. i’m only thirteen, and it’s totally given me a new look at life. it rings true to me the mentions of the tao have completely inspired me. was devastated about lilly. she seemed to help a hell of a lot more than the twelve steps. demanding copies of both books for christmas. lol. thankyou for clearing my head and enlightening me.

Well,first off i just recently started reading books and getting in to them. I read ” A Million Little Pieces” I honesty cannot get enough of it, both my father and brother went to rehab and i never got to understand what it was like until i read this book! It kept me up for nights! Most of my friends get annoied because i encourage them to read all three of his books! James Freys books bring me to tears they are soo real, I can not wait for his next book, Hopefully its another book to the series starting with “A Millon Little Pieces” and “My Friend Leonard” :]

I have to say, I love your writing, your writing style, your confidence, your wit, your strength and your courage. I just finished A Million Little Pieces, and before that I read Bright Shiny Morning, both books have opened my mind, and helped me think about life differently. Both these books left me craving more and wishing that I hadn’t finished them so quickly. I cannot wait to get My friend Leonard, and commend you and what you have done with the power of the written word. Thank you!!

i love leonard.

i adore every word.
thank you for writing.
