This book and the controversy circus surrounding it are about a decade old, so in case you don't remember: this book, marketed as a non-fiction account of James Frey's recovery from addiction, rocketed to success after it was chosen for Oprah's Book club. The Smoking Gun later revealed Frey to be a ...

Originally found on my book blog!Actual rating: 4.5 starsMy review:“I am an Alcoholic and I am a drug Addict and I am a Criminal.”When I first started reading this book, I had no idea about the controversy with this book.

Dovrei recensire “A milion little pieces” ma non sono in grado di farlo. Perché questo è il libro più straziante che abbia mai letto. James Frey è straordinario nella sua descrizione di un personaggio che lotta per liberarsi dall’ossessione di alcool e droga. Leggere quello che ha passato è totalmen...

It was not something that i would usually read but then this book teaches you a lot. I couldn't really relate to James because I have never been to rehab nor was I ever a junkie but still this book gives you a lot to think about. Very recommended read. :)
