I read over 100 pages of this stupid memoir before I gave up on it. A Million Little Pieces by James Frey is about six weeks that the author spent in rehabilitation for alcoholism & drug addiction. It was an Oprah Book Club pick, but once the details of his memoir were proved to be fabricated and/or exaggerated, The Smoking Gun published the falsehoods and Oprah confronted Frey on her show. I wanted to read it and then compare the book's facts verses fabrications. This book is so poorly written that I can't understand why it was a New York Times Bestseller to begin with! I would not recommend this book. It's ignorant and depressing, not to mention embellished and fraudulent - I wish I could get back the 2-3 hours I wasted. Next up: Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea by the hilarious comedienne Chelsea Handler. I'm sure I'll enjoy this one & I'll keep you posted!
