Product Description

Amazon.com

When he entered a residential treatment centre at the age of twenty-three, James Frey had destroyed his body and his mind almost beyond repair. He faced a stark choice: accept that he wasn’t going to see twenty-four or step into the fallout of his smoking wreck of a life and take drastic action. Surrounded by patients as troubled as he, Frey had to fight to find his own way to confront the consequences of the life he had lived so far, and to determine what future, if any, he has. A Million Little Pieces is an uncommon account of a life destroyed and a life reconstructed.


Evening Standard

‘Frey really can write. Brilliantly. And if you don’t think so, f*** you’

2.0 out of 5 stars Adolescent fantasy, 15 Jun 2008
By Pete B. (Bournemouth) - See all my reviews
I got clean and sober by going through rehabs. It took me several attempts. None of them were anything like James Frey's picture. He seems to have missed the point completely. This book is just a fantasy about being 'heroic'. If he ever was a 'real' addict/alcoholic, things are not looking good for him. Recovery requires honesty. Frey is completely dishonest. If you want to find out what rehab and recovery are really about, read 'No Big Deal' or 'Addiction and Recovery for Dummies'.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lynne Truss he ain't, 26 Mar 2006
By A Customer
I just wondered whether anyone else was irritated by the terrible grammar? In particular, the Random capital Letters. They can't be Dismised as a Writing Style, can They? It gives the book a childish feel. It must be on purpose. Why? Am I the only one who cares? (Probably!)

3.0 out of 5 stars Good 'story' from a pompous man, 30 Aug 2008
By Beacrm (Cleveland, England) - See all my reviews
I agree with one of the reviews on the inside cover of the paperback edition which calls Frey selfish, egocentric, violent & pompous. I sensed from the off that something wasn't quite right about the tale Frey was telling. Ultimately he seems more concerned with telling a good story than saying anything that may benefit other recovering addicts. His stubborn rejection of the 12 step programme made him seem like an idiot. As an adult he recalled a childhood 'prank' of him locking his pal in a box. He showed no remorse and said that he still found it funny. The passage of time had not taught him any sense of humility or to care for anyone other than himself. This recollection occured as he was reluctantly working through the early stages of the 12 steps, which he selfishly agreed to do in order to get released from rehab. I regret spending good money on this book and adding to the wealth of this odius man. I would not pay to read the sequel 'My Friend Leonard'
