Sam Lovell asked this question about A Million Little Pieces:
I am debating whether to read this. I don't think the fact he sold it as non-fiction when it wasn't is the biggest deal but is it actually a good story? Does it serve as a deterrence for drug use and alcohol abuse? Is it moving despite the 'scandal?' Thank you.

The author probably has done more harm than anyone can imagine by promoting the idea of self will vs admitting the addiction, surrendering to treatment, working the steps, seeking and accepting help. Total ridiculousness about what it's like in a rehab facility. Pure fiction. And, not very good fiction at that. Read as a lesson in what not to do in recovery & rehab. Read if you want to support an egotistical fraud who lied about this being his personal experience. The author should check himself into a rehab, because if he is an addict/alcoholic the writing of this book will be on his 4th Step.
