A Million Little Pieces - Book # 1

Well today I finished A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. This is a wonderful book but I am not really sure who to recommend it to. It is a hard book, at times, to get through because of the graphic details that he goes in to. I really enjoyed the book and I truly believe that everyone should read it, but will they is another question. Well on to my review.

A Million Little Pieces by James Frey

We are introduced to the author of the book as he is on a plane to the final place where it will be decided if he will live or die. He has been high for some any years of his life that it is no longer something he wants to do, it is something that he has to do. He is always trying to find something that will make the high just that much better. Rehab is not an easy place to be at, especially if you are not sure if you want to be there or not. He has been told by doctors that if he gets drunk one more time or gets high one more time, that his body will shut down and he will die. It is the way that it is going to be and he has to come to terms with it. Everything in the treatment center is telling him that the only way to overcome the addiction is through a Higher Power and the 12 step program. He does not believe in that and so he is bound and determined to make it without that. Everyone tells him that he will not be able to do it but that is something that he wants to do to prove them all wrong.

This is a very good book but there are times that it was hard to read. It was not hard to read because of the style in which it was written but rather because of the descriptions that he gave about the things that had to be done to him. Also the language that he uses in the book is very graphic. If you can not handle cussing like it is going out of style then this is not the book for you. I really enjoyed it and think that everyone should read it. Well I am off to bed.
