Customer Review #1:
 It Will Tie Your Stomach in Knotts
Simply put, I really liked "A Million Little Pieces." I agree with the review comparisons to "Nightmares Echo," "Running With Scissors," and of course "My Fractured Life." I also would include "Less Than Zero" among the favorable comparisons. Although a fiction novel in comparison to "A Million Little Pieces" being a memoir, "Less Than Zero" deals with the same situations of poor little rich boy becoming an addict not because of life on the mean streets, but simply because he has the money to waste. In terms of impact though, it is hard to top "Nightmares Echo" or "Basketball Diaries." Whereas, it in terms of an addictive reading experience it is hard to top "My Fractured Life" and "Running With Scissors". In all cases, "A Million Little Pieces" deserving belongs among all the aforementioned. It is graphic and impacting and at the same time addictive to read. A gripping journey that will put knots in your stomach.

Customer Review #2:
Edge of the chair
A Million Little Pieces keeps you on the edge of your chair throughout most of the book, it is hard to put down and an excellent read. It ranks up there with the likes of Nightmares Echo (sad and courageous writing),Beauty For Ashes (written from a christian perspective) and Fractured Life (the hollywood tell it like it is).
This is amazingly well done and highly recommended.

Customer Review #3:
Brilliant
Those who have been critical of James Frey and his book are so obviously envious of him it tells us way more about these "critics" than it does Frey. Perhaps they are personality disordered? Sure sounds like it.A first lesson for successfully staying clean is to acknowledge that addicts come from all walks of life. Those who dont will never make it...in the long run, if they even get that far. Im pretty sure Mr. Frey sees these two shabby attempts at copying his style as what they really are: the sincerest form of flattery. These two folks are jealous to the bone. I wonder how many books either has written, much less had published...to such near universal acclaim? It was not until after I finished reading this searingly genuine expose on the "famed" treatment center, that I realized I had done my stint there about 6 months prior. This book has it all...truth, love, pain, humanity, laughs - but above all - truth. Kudos to you, bud...you tell it like it is. Incidentally, I followed my own path also...hey, it worked for me, too. Who would have thunk it?
