This isn't your typical sob story about an addict who is trying to put his life together. It is a powerful, graphic, minute by minute account of a rock-bottom situation. James Frey, the author and the the main character (it's not fiction folks). I'm only about 50 pages into this book and already I can feel the pain, the helpless, hopless feeling.
I highly recommend it even though I have just started it. A far cry from The Bee Season and The Other Boleyn Girl. This is meaty and real and shocking. I've heard that if you or someone you know is or has been an addict of some kind, you need to read this book. A Million Little Pieces is worth your time. Let me know what you think.

I don't know that I could get through it. My younger brother was an alcoholic and drug user who killed himself at 24. He was also a kind, sensitive and loving person who could never understand the cruelty of others.

Read in two sittings, and took a day to "think it over"... not sure everything he says happen is real. The truth will set you free - right?! Thanks for posting this read otherwise I may have passed the book over.
