My husband bought me A Million Little Pieces as a birthday gift (prior to the outcry that came months later) and I was truly engrossed in the book. You see, I am a recovering addict myself. I could relate, on many levels, with James' 'journey' you might say. Though our lives were 'different' they are the 'same'.

I was extremely disheartened when I heard what he had done, however, he is human. And I also feel that Oprah had felt she neede to redeem herself and her 'personna' with the American public. God forbid she lose a viewer! God forbid her 'reputation' get scoured - face it, she's out to sell herself and everything associated with her name just like James wanted to sell his story and his book. Noe more, no less!

Yes, I will buy his new book. Really hoping my husband buys it for my birthday on October 17th!!! :)

I have not found any books since A Million Little Pieces and My Friend Leonard that have kept my attention the way that those books did. I could not put them down, nor could I rave enough about them to my friends. The man was a drug addict. Could anyone honestly expect his accounts to be 100% accurate?? I think that is hard enough for many non-drug addicts. I will be first in line to buy any book he writes because he is an amazing writer.

I loved both of James Frey's books and don't really understand why people are treating him the way they are. I watched the show where Oprah went after him. The books are incredibly touching and would assist anyone who is surviving addiction or knows someone close to them who is surviving addiction. I do understand there are some fabrications but, that is what sells. You have to keep the reader interested. Every movie out there is "based on a true story" and yet people don't seem to wonder how much is based on that story. James Frey has really taken a beating and he has stood up, been honest, and taken much mroe than he deserved. I certainly would support James Frey in his next novel. He has a beautiful style of writing and is one of my favourite authors.

I loved A Million Little Pieces and My Friend Leonard and I will happily read this new one by James. Oprah doesn't like controversy, yet yesterday she glorified OJ Simpson's book by having the Goldmans on her show. She stated she believed that OJ was guilty and that she 'would not' read his book, yet she sure wanted the ratings by having them on her show! What a hypocrite she is!

A Million Little Pieces was wonderful and Mr. Frey did not deserve to be "eviserated" by Oprah Winfrey.

I am looking forward to the new book which I will gladly purchase.

I sincerely hope he will continue his good work.

I decided to read the book " A milion little pieces" after everything had already happened with Oprah. The book itself changed my life!!! With each turn of the page, it was no longer a book ,but a journey in which I walked beside James. I felt his emotions as if they were coursing through my body, I felt his pain as if I was searching for my next drink. It is the most beautiful and raw story. I cried, laughed, became angry and desperate. Keep in mind, I knew from the beginning what everyone was saying about his fabrications, and how upset they were. I, for, one believe we should be thanking him for giving us the honor of reading such a life altering book. It was for me and those I have shared it with. I walk with you James Frey... through a million little pieces, and I walked with you while meeting your friend Leonard. Thankyou for giving me that honor.

His memoir A Million Little Pieces was wonderfully written and he did not deserve to be "eviserated" by Oprah Winfrey.
She was only interested in her own reputation.

I am looking forward to the new book, which I will gladly purchase.

Keep up the good work!
