AA is based on spiritual principles which allow people to chose a god of their own understanding. This book is fascinating however I would be cautious over berating a fellowship which is accountable for saving literally millions of lives. Your ignorance, however, is not unexpected.

AFTER reading the first book (and thoroughly enjoying it!), I recommended the book to my uncle who told me about the "Oprah controversy". WHAT? WHO CARES?! The books are so uniquely written!, and kept me completely engaged from page 1. I was riding an emotional roller coaster with James, Lilly & Leonard --- and whether the story is true or false is completely irrelevant! I finished My Friend Leonard with teary eyes just now. Amazing sequel and fantastic ending (the golf course scene) to Leonard's life! OUTSTANDING books! THANK YOU James Frey!

I read a million little pieces a few months ago and i couldnt stop thinking about it for days afterwards i cried numerous times i can totally relate to alot of how you feel about stuff and what you said and the way you write just hits a nerve and you capture your feelings etc so well. I havent had drug or drink problem but do suffer with anorexia and it def gave me strength to think if you can overcome this then i may be strong enough to get better too. I finished my friend leonard last night and i just couldnt stop crying i feel like i knew the characters and you. I am gutted i have read them both now and hope you write alot more. I really hope your happy and safe and well now take care xxx your books are amazing the best i have ever ever read.

I have to say i have laughted & Cried while reading these “journeys”. I have never touched Drugs or Alcohol in my 37 years, but reading these books gave me a full realistic insight to what an addict would go through. Thank you James, for allowing people like me to have look inside your life .. Good luck to you always. x x x x —Natalie (2010-01-14 15:18:58 I have just finished “My friend Leonard”, having read “A million little pieces” in the summer..

I locked myself in my room this weekend reading your first two books and I just wanted to let you know that you have an incredible gift. I'm really happy things worked out for you, no matter whats true and whats stretched, you gave people the power to believe. Keep on keeping on ;) This is the first time I have ever googled a writer.
