I ended up reading it for myself. I am envious of people who believe in god but can not pretend that I do. That doesn't make me a bad person, or mean that I have no morals. It means only that I have no one to blame for what I do. No one to ask, or pray to, to make things better. Only myself. I am responsible for my actions, as everyone is. I didn't even know that the 12 steps of AA were based on religion and now that I know I think I understand why so many people fail. I found James' approach much more realistic and the next time I see my brother I will give him this book and hope it touches him as it touched me. Thanks James and keep doing what your doing!!!

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 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 I’ve just finished reading both books…Pieces and Leonard. I absolutely loved them and read them both in 5 days straight.

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. Hi. I just finished reading My Friend Leonard 5 minutes ago. I am still in tears.
