i like this author, and whether or not it was fiction, he does an excellent job with the storyline. He made me feel what an addict actually feels.

Even with all the stuff that went down with "A Million Little Pieces" which was incredibly well written, this guy writes an amazing book. I think the Chicago Tribune said it best, as quoted on the back cover..."Amid all the furor and scolding, one thing has been overlooked...The guy can write."
If you read his first book and liked it, read this...it picks up where that one ended.

I have read everything Frey has written and I swear I'd read his grocery list if I could. His writing and story telling simply ROCK! My Friend Leonard is a wacky, sweet story of life after addiction and the people wacky, sweet people who help you along the way. I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves a book they cannot put down.

James Frey has become one of my favorite authors. First, with "A Million Little Pieces" and now continuing with "My Friend Leonard". He takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions through the entire book. Funny, outrageous, and heartbreaking, you will never forget James and his best friend, Leonard.

Every time I look at the cover of this book & A Million Little Pieces I get upset. It was a good read, the writing was excellent and the story was great... until I found out it was not true at all, the author lied. Had the truth been known at the beginning of this read i'd of loved it a lot more. It made me so upset. I just can't get past the lie and the idea I believed it all.

Fact or fiction? Either way, Frey's a great storyteller and he had me captivated the whole way through with this one!
