Search - A Million Little Pieces

So Oprah had a hissy fit over this book. So people were put off because of some alleged fictionalization of this story. Regardless, it is excellent reading, and the author either has done a tremendous amount of research into addiction and recovery, or experienced addiction and recovery to tell this chilling story. In all reality, when one tells their side of a story, who isn't tempted to expound upon the truth a bit? Embellishment makes for good story telling. The only difficulty I had with the story is that an addict as severe as Frey could gain and maintain sobriety in as short a time as six weeks.

Being the wife to an addict and alcoholic(10 years sober) I really enjoyed the book. I felt like it was something I needed to read. A great insite to what getting clean "feels like".

Fiction or non-fiction, it doesn't really metter, it's still a great story.

This book isn't at all what Oprah claimed it to be....I never finished it. It is just garbage. He just uses this book as a platform to have an excuse to use expletives repeatedly and be completely a fool. You can tell it isn't a memoir....it is just overly exaggerated....overly everything. I work with at-risk, drug/alcoholic people. None of which are over the top like Mr. Frey.

I felt that this book was pretty amazing. I loved Mr. Frey's writing style and how he was able to captivate me from the very beginning. I also enjoyed how we as an audience were able to see him grow and change though out the book. However, above all, I really enjoyed his philosophy on addiction and the Twelve Step program. It brings an option to those who do not wish the follow the norm.

This book is very gory at times but I couldn't put it down!

Still a great story, even after the controversy. Reading it as a fiction rather than a non-fiction makes it super enjoyable and interested to read. Great characters and a great story.
