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!!!
Even though James Frey caught a lot of flack for labeling his book as an autobiography, I thought it was a good story. I didn't have a clue as to what people with alcohol and drug addiction go through on a daily basis and also what treatment is like for them. I found it interesting.
This book rocks. Screw the nitpickers.
Regardless of how much of this story is true and how much of this story is fabricated, it is still a raw, terse tale of the fight against addiction.
