Million Little Pieces
EUR 6,87
Great read - I devoured this book. Having been bored and annoyed by the self-glorifying style of so many memoirs/ autobiographies, this book was such a difference. Of course the content is extremely serious and eye-opening, but its style is straight and simple. It s like James Frey had no energy left to waste on frills, which matches the story perfectly. Forget the whole hype about whether things happened exactly the way they are portrayed and just enjoy a book that is something else.
Amazing! - This outstanding book is an inspiration for anyone who has dealt with not only addiction or obsession, but who has experienced the down-sides of life. Frey s style is simple, yet powerful. I laughed. I cried. I hurt. I chuckled. I hoped.Let s just this is one f***ing good book! Thank you, James. Thank you.
A powerful story - This outstanding memoir by James Frey s articulating his struggles to put his pathetic , addicted, broken life back together is written with such realness that most addicts can relate to it. One gets awed from the beginning by the author s writing skills as well as the gripping nature of the story. Not only has it so many lessons in it, I also find it inspirational. Like SMASHED, or The Oaf in the book USURPER AND OTHER STORIES, A MILLION LITTLE PIECES easily brings tears, sighs, laughter and phew in different turns.
ABOUT SURVIVING - This book is no literary art work nor a grammatical example text. It is written according its content: plain, straight away, partly messed up and confused. And that s what it makes it so credible and convincing to the reader. It made me feel, cry, smile and it gave me the shivers, too. Anyone interested in TRUE, REAL literature, anyone who does not hide away from the darker, dirtier side of this world into Rosamunde Pilcher stories, should read this book - and by means of it appreciate what he HAS, as ordinary as it may seem.Kristin Hogk, technical translator for German, English and Spanish texts.
outstanding and honest - first of all, this is a story of a drug addict who started at the age of 13. on the cover stands something like a comparison to fear & loathing in las vegas , but it is nothing like it. ok the story is about a drug addict, but that is the only equality to it. this book is more like a story about the addiction itself and i guess it is really honest, cause otherwise you can t write this way.the book is very well written and easy to understand (even for a german like me). you get the feeling, that you are flying over the pages and walking with james through rehabilitation.so both thumbs up from me!
