James Frey:
A Million Little Pieces
and
My Friend Leonard
This is a must read book. I read it last year, and it is definitely the kind of book that makes you change the way you think about things. A million little pieces was an Oprah book and after James Frey was on it, people found out that some of the things he wrote about didn't really happen (check out this link for a list of things that aren't true.)
A lot of people think that this book shouldnt be read just becuase some of it didnt happen. This is what I think:
First of all who the hell cares? it was an AWSOME book! Some people really need to get a life, like come on people, to all complain about something liek this? nothing is true in movies and books now a days, they have to have somewhat of a happy ending, and they need to make it more exciting, thats why i never cared when i found out some parts where fake. I would still read it over and over again, even if it was all make believe. Secondly I think that people shouldnt believe everythign that they read, see, or hear. Helloooo, how do you think roumors get started? if people believed everything, then there would be some pretty crazy stuff going on in our world today,( not that there allready isnt!). Lastly I think that maybe people should have maybe thought humm he was a crack head and look how far he has come! he was on the verge of dieing, because he was using and drinking so much, but instead he wanted to be a better person. It seems like people are being soo selfish that they dobnt even relise how hard that must have been for him, so maybe they should have been happy for him, i know i was.
I dunno, that is just my opion on my fav book and such, feel free to comment on it with yours!
