A Million Little Pieces or A Million Little Lies?

 A Million Little pieces, more like A Million Little LIES. A book that was supposedly a memoir about James Frey's stay in a rehab center turns out to be a lie! The book was in Oprah's book club in 2005 and was quickly kicked out after hearing it was a fake. Everybody thought it was a bit weird for an autobiography to be written in the style it was but nobody suspected it was a lie. Although, it wasnt all lies. James was a drug and alcohol addict, he says he just embellished and twisted the truth about the events he encountered.

 

James very much feels that his book is an acurate representation of what life was like back then, even if he drastically twisted the truth. He says his thoughts were real, everything he was thinking in the book were his real thoughts. In the book he says he was in jail for months but in real life it was only a few hours, in the book he portays himself way worse off than he actually was. I dont see how someone could fake a horrible experience like that just to sell more copies of the book. Also it probably offends a lot of people who have actually gone through something like that because he is pretending to know what it was like for them.
