Forrest's review
A Million Little Pieces by James Frey
This book received a lot of negative publicity due to arguments people had with the validity of Frey's story. Admittedly, Frey should not claim fact when he is writing fiction, however, I found his book to contain a lot more truth within its fiction then most non-fiction books do. Frey's ability to understand the human struggle to find reason for living goes beyond a simple story of an addict overcoming his addictions. Frey's experiences not only kept me turning the pages, but made me continually think back and reexamine my own moral structure. If you are willing to look at your own life and see how at any given point you are one decision away from self destruction, then you will like this book. Sympathy is not feeling sorry for someone; it is realizing that you are equally likely to experience the same pain in your lifetime.
Damnit...I'm going to have to write a review now to compete with all you James Frey fans..;-)
