5 out of 5 stars written beautifully   December 27, 2009
Melanie Gonsecki
I was one of those shocked when I found out this book was not real. It turned me off of the book and I have not picked it up since. But a truly intriguing piece of work! The descriptions and his love interest move you through the first half of the book.

5 out of 5 stars I loved it and I don't care what anybody says about it.   November 2, 2009

Although it's years later, I picked this book up not knowing about its controversy or its history. I just read the book because it seemed interesting. It's the best book I've read in a very long time, and it made me think, made me feel, and made me reflect deeply on myself and my life. No wonder it was successful. I read the book believing that everything was true, but assumed some of it was probably a distortion of memory because of the detox process (such as being dragged into a corner in the medical unit and waking up there the next day. I assumed he may have been there a short time but FELT like it was overnight.)

The day after I finished it, I immediately googled James Frey. I was so curious about what he looked like now, where his life has taken him, and whatever other interesting tidbits. It saddened me when I discovered the incredible controversy of this tale. I have thought long and hard about it, and I decided that I really don't care. I really loved reading this book, and it was very real for me as I was doing so. I feel that it brought to the surface some things I've been feeling about my life, and helped me understand why I do some of the things I do.

I feel sad that James suffered with so much criticism over this book. I read the part of the book that they are inserting, and I think if that had been in the book when I read it, that it would not have mattered to me one way or the other.

I'm glad I read this book. And I'm glad James has his wife and family to support and love him, and I'm glad he is still sober today.



4 out of 5 stars Oprah's Book Club (at least for a minute!!!)   October 31, 2009
Miz Piz (Michigan)
This is my review based on the book prior to finding out that the guy was a fraud and Oprah called him on it. Oprah's book club... A 23 year old drug/alcohol addicts stint in a 6 week rehab center. This book has virtually no punctuation. I guess it's supposed to be written like how an addicts mind thinks maybe? It's all over the place. Sold as a memoir. I enjoyed it even though it was hard to follow, made me open my eyes to things that were basically unknown to me growing up in Podunk, USA. Definitely a good story, maybe a little exaggerated added for a little flavor perhaps but I still liked it!!
Ok now that I know the truth about the author... I still liked the book I really don't care that it wasn't true and that he was a fraud. I don't feel, however, that he wasn't inexperienced though. I think that he has had experience with drunks or addicts albeit not himself I think maybe he has either worked in a rehab center or maybe even a counselor. I think just for drama purposes he wrote himself as an addict. I think it took balls to do this and then to involve the almighty Oprah! But in her defense, she tore him a new butt! Nobody plays Oprah for a fool!!!!

Great book, Great story! I don't care about all the stuff that has been said about the author, James Frey knows how to write a fast pace book.
