I picked it up this month and once I started reading it I could not stop. Thanks for your stories. I like how you describe everything and tell it from your mind. Keep writing! Your descriptions are honest and from the heart! xo Ashley Bilodeau 27 yrs old, Montreal Quebec Canada. Hey James,

Screw the critics, James something those critics forget at the end of the day is..Yu CAN WRITE! yu are my absolute favorite author and ive read hundreds of books. i have bought yur books for anyone and everyone i know. i cant wait to read bright shiny morning. please never stop writing, yu and yur life are amazing. all my love to yur wife and child may they see yu for everything amazing yur life has pushed yu to become. <3 i read a million little pieces for the first time abt three years ago and i cried threw it. i have a 2and a half year old and havent had the time to read being a 19yr old single mom. but hes finally at a stage where i can squeeze in quiet time so i ran to the book store and got my friend leonard and once again cried threw it. my dad is to this day a struggling alcoholic and is dying from it now, doctors give him months if he is lucky. sadly drugs and alcohol is what broke up my marriage and i can remember the moment a few days befor knowing i was pregnant where i sat in Lilly’s shoes. my son saved my life and James Frey showed me that there are somethings yu can over come. the Fury doesnt bother me anymore, and i have my own preverbial leonard and im finally becoming happy and able to live again.

I sobbed for the lost life of Lilly when I finished it. I think a whole new offshoot of addict focused psychology is waiting to be pioneered in response to the 'power of me' philosophy demonstrated by James' struggle. Still sad at the loss of Ed, Matty and Ted. Can't wait to read the next Chapter about Leonard. I think the detractors miss the point that this man should be dead and is alive and as a result has brought a unique and true piece of wisdom, joy and fullness to their lives which it is frankly delusional not to acknowledge. I am a fan. Still devastated about Lilly. Thank you James, for sharing your life with us. Incredible read, AMLP. I sobbed for the lost life of Lilly when I finished it.

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 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..
