I was very skeptical when reading this one - but my book club picked it and I thought I'd give it a whirl. I was not a fan of 'A Million Little Pieces' but this book was definitely an improvement. I was expecting the same type of punctuation and non use of capitalization in this book, but that part was improved on. I couldn't help but wonder how much of the book was fact vs. fiction because of the first book. I actually felt connected to the charachters and couldn't put the book down because I needed to know what happened in the end. Frey did a wonderful job on engaging the reader. I wish that he would have written more about his wife and family. All in all I would definitely recommend this book if you don't have issues with foul language, drugs and alcohol...even if you do I would recommend it.
