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.

I have never been addicted to either, but know that a nurse at a hospital said an alcohol withdrawal is worse than a heroin withdrawal. James in the book doesn't ever barely go through ANY withdrawal. If I hadn't known there was all this controversy, the book would still be good. It's a good book, but people have to remember it's fiction. Still a great read.(less)
