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.
Read it
| Customer Rating:  | I read this a few years ago, loved the book and couldn't put it down, it's stayed with me since.
After reading I looked up the book to find similar ones, or other fans and came across the sequal (Which was available at my library too [:) and all the pages about if it's an autobiography or work of fiction. I don't mind either way, I enjoyed the book, and its sequal, and now want a copy for myself to re-read.

Buy this book
| Customer Rating: | | Ignore all negative reviews, media hype, preoccupations with how 'true' this account is...It is an excellent book, an excellent piece of writing, unique style, an addictive read, it pulls you in, engages - a purchase you shall not regret. |
Great Read.
| Customer Rating: | I can understand people feeling dissapointed when they found out that parts of this book had been fabricated, it's because when we feel something is really and imagine it actually HAPPENING it has more appeal.
But in terms of the book, it is a brilliant read. Cannot put it down.
The writing is strange, but it is fitting for the story that is being told. |
a work of inspiration, shock and total honesty
| Customer Rating: | this is a book that shocks,disturbs but in the end inspires. i bought it for a wide range of friends with varied attitudes and backgrounds. they all without exception couldn't put it down and were moved by it. its about one man's inner strength, about total and utter commitment and a level of determination that should motivate anyone to confront anything. its written in a unique style which embodies the author's approach to dealing with his demons. even IF it is fiction or just embelished (as some people have alleged), if you don't come away inspired to fight your vices, fears and the dark periods of your life, you must be missing something. his sequel, my friend leonard, is different, but a must read too.

Sensation - the best autobiography ever written.
| Customer Rating: | | James Frey is the best writer for four hundred years and this book, like his others, transcends all the normal rules of "literature" to create a level of humanity that is completely exceptional. |
