I finished A Million Little Pieces yesterday, and started reading A Very Long Engagement this morning.

47) A Million Little Pieces by James Fray This was by no means what I consider great litterature, but I enjoyed it nontheless. I found myself not able to really relate -thank god- since I've never experienced addiction (except, you know, for books and chocolate). It gave me more insight ...

... So I decided to abandoned it. If you finish it, I'd be interested in hearing what you think about it! I'm reading A Million Little Pieces at the moment, and I'm finding it alright. Nothing special.

... Doug (on this one issue!) in that I just don't get all the anti-Oprah sentiment. I worked at a bookstore from A Million Little Pieces through Deceptively Delicious. Yeah, maybe the people who watch her show and don't bother to have an author's name are annoying, but hell, at ...

... writer of gay erotica. Thus, what may have come across as being poignant was obvious lies (and I'm talking much bigger than A Million Little Pieces here) told by a white guy trying to tap into "Native American mysticality." But I *liked* the book, I did, and when either a. thinking of it as ...

... read this month's article at Vanity Fair about A Million Little Pieces and how Frey is weathering the scandal. Certainly enough print space has been wasted on this whole mess, but I found the reporter's take to be ...

... I really enjoyed this, especially since I know someone with autism, some of the behaviors hit close to home. 4. A Million Little Pieces by James Frey This was a fast read and I knew that it was (mostly) made up but I still liked it. I just read it as though it was fiction. These ...

I stumbled upon a sale in my local bookshop, so.. A Million Little Pieces by James Frey Wild Animals (the touchstone's got it all wrong; it's a book about mammals, reptiles and amphibians.) Tanglewreck by Jeanette Winterson A Very Long Engagement by Sebastien Japrisot

Running... is reminding me of a book I read last year, A Million Little Pieces- they are both 'fictionalised' memoirs- but perhaps as RWS is about Burrough's childhood, his further book Dry would be better for a Compare & Contrast.

... who try to be accurate and revealing and considerate of their relatives and associates. Whew. Big job. I too thought Million Little Pieces was hard to take well before the controversy hit the media. I knew enought about the "recovery industry" to recognize the hyperbole.

... yes, I think some of them are just lying. They aren't confused or disconnected. They just want to be published. I read Million Little Pieces before he was discovered and remember not believing much of it. As someone who has worked with addicts (I'm a social worker), his story didn't seem ...

... book - it really read more like a novel than a memoir although the whole time I was reading it I did have flashbacks of A Million Little Pieces - not that it was in any way like that book, the writing in this book is much better as is the story itself. I just kept thinking that I loved this ...

4) Just finished A Million little Pieces by James Frey Ok, I know he made it up, but I still enjoyed it. Oprah should try writting a book on substance abuse and see if it's believeable.

4) Completed 09/23: A Million Little Pieces by James Frey

43% through A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. I'm enjoying it & finding it easy to get through (besides the drug addiction/ rehab topic). Maybe if I keep enjoying it My Friend Leonard will end up on my TBR pile.

... are memoirs, Snoopy, and manga confusing? Nonfiction, fiction, fiction. There. I solved the big dilemma. What about A Million Little Pieces? What about Deepak Chopra? Why is The Corrections tagged nonfiction at least once? ...What about the Bible? I would rather have an ...

... next read but I just might put it back to the bottom of the pile. One book with rave reviews that I just didn't like was A million little pieces. I found it very tedious.

I'm reading James Frey's A Million Little Pieces, but I don't know whether to classify it as non-fic or not.

# 81 - Reportedly (who knows how true this is), he originally wanted to publish A Million Little Pieces as a novel, but his publisher/agent/editor insisted it would sell better as a memoir. Could all be a load of excrement. But I think getting publicly chewed out by Ms. Winfrey is certainly ...

#72 I read A Million Little Pieces before all the drama and BS started, and I followed the whole thing very closely. My opinion? The book is wonderful, and really affected me personally. Beyond that, I don't care. He shouldn't have lied, of course, but he did, and that doesn't take away from the ...

... the beautiful prose and the way the author played with words, making new words and new meanings. I recently read A Million Little Pieces and although it has been considered favourably by most, I found it to be very self-indulgent and ended up skipping whole pages. Hope you have a ...

--> 73 charlenemartel, I'd like to hear what you think of A Million Little Pieces after you read it. Before the controversy, everyone raved about it. Now it gets mixed reviews. I first started listening to it on audio. It was so powerful! Midway through the audio version, I realized (b ...

Update! Do feel free to comment! 18. A Million Little Pieces - James Frey I don't care what anyone says about the contents of this book being "invented". I think this book was great! It was a very absorbing and dramatic look at drug and alcohol rehab. I imagine that recovery from ...

... anything she has written about gardening. A Small Place is one of favorite pieces of personal writing. Oh, I hated A Million Little Pieces but felt compelled to come to Frey's defense when the "shocking" truth came out. It's a memoir not text book. I assume that most memoirs have a ...
