Has anyone read James Frey's "A Million Little Pieces" ? There seems to be cotroversy regarding the fact he labeled it a memoir yet has taken fictional liberties. The Smoking Gun websiteseems to have exposed his truth stretching. I was just curious if anyone has read it.

no

NO, I haven't but a friend of mine is. I saw him a few months ago on Oprah and he seems pretty incredible. My friend said the book is almost addicting and can't put it down.

I haven't read it. I have no intention of doing so either.

I just wonder who he pissed off for them to have done this investigation.....

Hi Lil,
No I never heard of it. But I went to the SG web link you put in and now I want to read it.
Hugs,

I saw him on Oprah & he seemed a bit holier-than-thou to me so I really wasn't surprised to see this investigation.

"The Smoking Gun" has many sources & I think a prelim. investigation showed holes in his story so they continued to dig.

Like my b/f said last night, "If it's helping people, what's the big deal?"

The only big deal I see is that Frey kept insisting it was true which takes away some credibility.

i hadn't even heard of it before, but after reading that (lengthy ) report (and assuming it's true) the guy sounds like a fraud.
