"The most lacerating tale of drug addiction since William S. Burroughs' Junky." --The Boston Globe"Again and again, the book delivers recollections that leave the reader winded and unsteady. James Frey's staggering recovery memoir could well be seen as the final word on the topic."--San Francisco Chronicle"A brutal, beautifully written memoir."--The Denver Post"Gripping . . . A great story . . . You can't help but cheer his victory." --Los Angeles Times Book ReviewFrom the Trade Paperback edition.

Review of 'A Million Little Pieces' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

I hate this book, so much so it took me a year to finish and there were still a few pages left I didn't actually read. I went into it know the controversy and willing to read it as a work of fiction that had seemed to resonate with quite a few people. This is the WORST piece of writing I have ever read. I don't even know how people enjoyed this pre-controversy. It's absolutely atrocious and hope the James Frey never writes again (spoiler, he did write another book).
