The fact that people focus on his jail record, exaggerated or not, is NOT the point of A Million Little Pieces. His recovery and addiction is the whole point of that book. People can get the fuck over it.
Can't wait to get this book! I love the guy and hes really inspiring.
The book A Million Little Pieces was AMAZING. Fake or not, it was amazing. I think some people got out of control about the entire thing. but I think they forget how well written that book was. No one who read it could put it down. Just applaud him for writing a awesome book. Daaaang.
I got to say i loved this book, and i read it after knowing all that happened. It was a badass book, i applaud him. I don't care if it was real or not, it still had an affect on me.
I read the book, and it was really good. I empathised with the characters and all that, thinking it was a true story. Then I found out it is fake, a bit before I finished it. Kind of ruined it for me. I do have to admit, however, it really is a good book, the faking of it aside.
@JippersMcK How can you say that if you clearly havent read the bible from beggining to end?? pppfffft.. you atheists always mocking and being disrespectfull READ the book before you try being clever
@knersisdiekrokedil Or you could just stop being stuck up and accept that the bible is shit. Look up up the gnostic gospels and ask yourself why they weren't included. Specifically the book of Judas, since it has the most believable example of how the kind loving version of your God and the raging lunatic version of your God can exist simultaneously, and is honestly the only thing I can get along with from your religion since jesus says everything else in it is shit. Tl;dr fuck off hypocrite.
@FlamingGenetalia Your argument is a fallacy... and clearly you do not understand what the word "hypocrite" means.... and you OPINION is that the bible isn't true that doesnt mena its a fact! I didnt claim to FACTUAL. you dont sound very smart anyway.
@knersisdiekrokedil Half of the shit in your comment is misspelled and I don't seem intelligent. Bad troll is bad. And where you being a "Hypocrite" comes in is the fact that you haven't studied your own supposed religion as much as you should.

And where you being a "Hypocrite" comes in is the fact that you haven't studied your own supposed religion as much as you should. To clarify, you telling someone to read the book before trying to be clever when you yourself are an uneducated fuck stain.
@knersisdiekrokedil I have read it actually. Just because you read something doesn't mean you instantly will believe it. Which is probably the issue people are having here. Its a book, enjoy it for being a book and not much more.
@JippersMcK I have no problem with the book! I have a problem with people bringing religion into this... I actually enjoyed the book... And people read the bible and dont believe it, thats their problem. Dont say its fake. But they always attack religion..
@JippersMcK why are u bringing religion into this? idid you read his book? i did and i felt so much for the character that when i was 40 pages away from the ending and the news broke out about the book being a fake i was so pissed off and felt lied to. i know its just a book but honestly when im reading a book and someone tells me its a true story im feeling more for the character. lying is wrong regardless!
@lovinliverpool Ive read A million Little Peices 5 times, it's my favorite book. My friend Leonard 3 times, not so great but still a good read. Its a book, its ok if it doesnt tell you the truth, what are you like if a partner lies to you!?
@JippersMcK Well thats good you see it like that. And just because I was upset because he lied doesn't mean you have to try and embaress me with 'Its just a book'. Because when I really like a book, Im trying to learn something from it so no its not 'just' a book. It felt like everything i read was no point in it because it was all bullshit and I bought the book because of the 'trueness' to it but wasn't really.
@lovinliverpool Hmmm, best stick to the factual stuff then, like a history book rather than a novel. I know things that aren't 100% true can make people "upset", maybe make them cry, maybe make them start a war (think religion) so it's probably best if you either go for the afore mentioned history books or maybe a nice little happy book like Room on the Broom, yeah it's made up, but I think you might be ready to handle it!
@JippersMcK Trying to patronize me to get your point across is really quite sickening. A lie is a lie is a lie, just shows your character as an individual on being all gung hoe on this book. When an author is selling a book a certain way and it turns out to be false, I do not feel like I should be supporting buying their books when they can't hold up their end of the bargain.
@lovinliverpool Like I said before.....its a book! I am pretty sure there are bigger issues in your life, if not then please for the love of Allah go to a pub (bar if you're American, LovinLiverpool would suggest not), buy a drink and meet some people and get some real drama in your life. Also sickening is a little strong, I would prefer fun, maybe a good boredom killer at the very most.
@JippersMcK its a big deal because he got a lot of money, he got best sellers, he got famous BECAUSE it was real. if it wasnt real, he wouldnt be nearly as famous. THATS why.
lol I find it so funny that this whole thing was made into such a big deal. It's a book people, real or not it was a really good book. It's not that big a deal
yea, it's not a big deal when you mislead million of people about a BOOK!!! whether it was fiction or not - it still helped people. He's not George Bush - it's a book lol
and he's still a good writer. Do you know how many authors who write memoirs lie? Please.
Oh please, James Frey is an idiot. He's acting like, "I forgot to tell people it wasn't real." One day he says that he's altered things in the story and then another day he says that the only things he changed was the names of the people for their own privacy. Idiot.
The fact that people focus on his jail record, exaggerated or not, is NOT the point of A Million Little Pieces. His recovery and addiction is the whole point of that book. People can get the fuck over it.
