I finished A Million Little Pieces over the holidays. I ranted earlier about it becoming slow and repetitive in the middle of th book. I’m here to say the last 100 pages made up for it. I still stand by the comment that after Frey’s turning point (around page 140) the book goes downill. It’s still good enough to read, though.
The Smoking Gun has a very interesting investigative report into the stories told by James Frey. They attempt to discredit Frey by illustrating some creative embellishments he took in the book. During one instance with the police Frey mumbles “Fucking Pig” which lands him in deep do-do with the cops. TSG pulls the police report and finds no mention of the comment and concludes that his embellishments are too much and he’s full of crap. Hardly a strong argument in my mind. Of course, this comes from an admitted embellisher.
