"A Million Little Pieces" - James Frey

[birdgirl73]

Everything I've seen and heard about it says the book is mostly all exaggerations. A typical one in the book is where he describes getting busted by the cops for all sorts of violations, beaten and roughhandled by the cops, but in reality it was a minor traffic ticket. Also that the friend from the mental hospital if fabricated as well.

The guy even placed himself in a car that killed a girl saying he was there and held her as she died, when in reality, a girl was killed, but he barely knew the girl and he wasn't even around the crash site. Not trying to ruin too many book plots, but when fiction is passed off as non-fiction or truth, the facts need to be set straight.

I'll shut up now.

Oh, sheesh. Seriously, I didn't know it was this much of it made up! I thought it was only about three little details that were fabricated. I saw him and I think it was his publisher on the news one morning trying to make it sound less bad that it was.

Hence my use of the pathetic term "mostly true."
