• Oprah Rips James Frey A New One Share

  I've tried to avoid the popular blogging style of just listing a bunch of links to other sites, but I was researching responses to Oprah's shredding of James Frey and basically everyone has said everything there is to say. I'm sure there's a lot more ... (read full critics)

  AWESOME book!!! I'd read it again in a heart beat. There were some slow parts, some depressing parts, but it's worth the read. I don't care what people think about James Frey, he is an awesome writer and I applaud him!!!

  There are a million books out there about unknown people who have truly experienced dark and painful phases in life. This book delivers this and so much more. I finished it in about a week, it's just one of those book you can't put down, not because it's a masterpiece of literature but because there's a really strong human feel to it.

  I recommend this book as a great 'commuting book' - it makes any train/tube ride fly by.

  I don't care if Frey bends the truth. The book is very well written and the emotion feels real.

  It contains in my opinion one of the best description of bad neighborhood in a Downtown area. (page 349 and ff in my edition)

  I heard all about the controversy around this book. I don't care because this book is entertaining, fiction or not. Furthermore, even the fictionalized parts are non-fiction to some dude somewhere. Believe me. It's reality all over maybe not for Frey but for a lot of innercity ghosts.

  Great Memory James

  Yeah great read but are we really expected to believe the authors recollection of events as vividly as he writes them? I would have thought after a stint in rehab there would be more black outs.
