Description
The listing, A Million Little Pieces has ended.
Soft cover. A little worn but still in good shape. This is the book that Oprah chose for her book club then discovered that the author lied about the book being his true story. True or not it's an okay book.
Questions & Comments
Awesome book, it is a shame it wasn't all truthful...but still a great book to read.
I don't really care whether he lied or not. It doesn't take anything away from the amazing book. Does it truly matter whether it is fiction or non? I would bid but I already own two copies of this and his second book.
Synopsis This addiction memoir opens with the author's awakening on an airplane with a broken nose, a hole in his cheek, and four missing teeth--and no knowledge of how he received those injuries or, indeed, of how he got on the plane or where he's going. James Frey writes candidly about his monumental problems with drugs and alcohol, his terrifying experiences, and his relationships with the fellow-addicts he encountered over six weeks of detox at a Minnesota clinic. Many readers (including Oprah, who in 2005 made A MILLION LITTLE PIECES the first nonfiction selection for her Book Club) have praised the book for the raw and real-seeming quality of its reminiscences. However, allegations have since arisen that many of the events in the book were either extraordinarily exaggerated or entirely fabricated, including the author's personal involvement in a tragic car accident in high school and his three-month incarceration. The book's defenders, in turn, claim that a memoirist's perspective often involves a skewing of the facts, and the quality of the book is what counts, not its factual basis.
