A story of drug and alcohol abuse and rehabilitation as
it has never been told before. Recounted in visceral, kinetic
prose, and crafted with a forthrightness that rejects piety,
cynicism, and self-pity, it brings us face-to-face with a
provocative new understanding of the nature of addiction and the
meaning of recovery. A Million Little Pieces refuses to fit any
mold of drug literature. Inside the clinic, James Frey is
surrounded by patients as troubled as he is -- including a
judge, a mobster, a one-time world-champion boxer, and a fragile
former prostitute to whom he is not allowed to speak. James
refuses to consider himself a victim of anything but his own bad
decisions, and insists on accepting sole accountability for the
person he has been and the person he may become--which runs
directly counter to his counselors' recipes for recovery. A
Million Little Pieces is an uncommonly genuine account of a life
destroyed and a life reconstructed. It is also the introduction
of a bold and talented literary voice.
Characters: 62. Amazon rating: 4 stars. Genre: Non-Fiction.
