What readers think of A Million Little Pieces, plus links to write your own review.

My newest personal favorite. Have recommended it to everyone I know. Looking for information on James Frey, possible contact with him available?

I am a writer myself and an avid reader - this book is one of the most amazing works I have ever read. Ever. Really. James came in town a few months ago and I had every intention of going to see him although I had yet to read A Million Little Pieces - but I never made it there. Now I'm kicking myself! It's beautiful and honest and real and haunting - far beyond what most books end up being. This is one of those rare books that will sneak into my mind for many years to come.

I think this book is a must read for every person, it is about facing up to yourself and being accountable for your actions. I think James is wonderful.

just read it. i'm sure you will be able to relate to it. no joke!!

I was looking forward to reading this book and am disappointed. I appreciate that Mr. Frey feels that he was writing his truth. I feel that while he has undoubtedly experienced addiction, he has no real understanding of it. It is disappointing. He could have helped with this book and he didn't. It's sensational and titillating and I can understand the appeal it has for some people, but people seem to regard it as a learning tool and it's real value is entertainment only. As I said, titillating. Too bad. He was honest, I have to give him credit for that, but I think he wrote this book with a motive (besides the obvious financial one) and the motive is nasty. Bad Karma, James!

As the sister of a drug-addict, I was starved for information that would let me know just exactly how my brother felt, what was going through his mind, how he could possibly do the things he was doing, etc. I researched and researched, but could not find that "perfect" blend of what I was looking for, until I found this book. James does a wonderful job of explaining the painful side of addiction through his own eyes and the almost "other-worldly" force that compels people to use drugs and alcohol, over and over again, even though they know it's killing them. I would recommend this book to anyone, but especially to those who have loved ones that are dealing with addiction. It offers a rare insight into the mind of the addicted.

This book shows what a real addiction is and how life is in treatment. i think that he was real with his thoughts and that is what this book is about. It is hard thing to be addicted and to love at the same time. I think his love for Lilly was real and wonderful. I know it is hard to live with people when they ruin your "chore." I think others should read this book because i loved it peroanlly and I would share it with my friends. When the he explains his feelings inside of him and his thoughts they are said over and over again because they are true and thats how addicts think. READ IT

As an significantly older female reader (I am an "active mature adult"!) and writer, I was overwhelmed by this young man's writing. I could not put the book down. James Frey takes people like me who know (it exists) but don't know about addiction and gives us a frighteningly real look at that world. It was painful to read and yet the relationships that developed inside rehab were beautiful, sometimes heart-wrenching. I don't think it should be looked at as an addict's disclaimer of AA and the 12 Steps, but as a point of view which says, "We don't have much chance of making it, but here is one who did. And I did it this way."
