About this listen
By the time James Frey enters a drug and alcohol treatment facility, he has so thoroughly ravaged his body that the doctors are shocked he is still alive. Inside the clinic, he is surrounded by patients as troubled as he: a judge, a mobster, a former world-champion boxer, and a fragile former prostitute. To James, their friendship and advice seem stronger and truer than the clinic's droning dogma of "How to Recover".
James refuses to consider himself a victim of anything but his own bad decisions. He insists on accepting sole accountability for the person he has been and the person he may become - which he feels runs counter to his counselor's recipes for recovery. He must fight to survive on his own terms, for reasons close to his own heart. And he must battle the ever-tempting chemical trip to oblivion.
An uncommon accounting of a life destroyed and reconstructed, and a provocative alternative understanding of the nature of addiction and the meaning of recovery, A Million Little Pieces marks the debut of a bold and talented literary voice.

I chose not to read about the controveries
I am glad I didn't. I understand the betrayal addicts might feel, but it's well written. the thing about trauma and addicts is, the capability to feel something is real in your mind and extenuating the parts they want to believe

Loved this book!
Loved that it touched on very dark, scary places relating to addiction, while reminding us that willpower and stubbornness can be used to be pulled out of that dark place

Good story, narration questionable
I feel like the narrator added inflection and internation that didn’t necessarily reflect what James Fry was trying to portray as his character and those in the story. I get that narrators need to do voices and take liberties but it just seem to be a little over done.

Worth reading
He has his own voice, own style. His writing reminds me a bit of Cormac McCarthy and Hunter S. Thompson. His free-flowing, almost word association kind of writing seemed organic and entertained me. I also felt invested in the characters. Read it. It’s worthwhile.

Characterizing the life of an addict.
I loved the voice of James Frey he did a Great job at Narrating his own book. The story was right to the point and accurate dealing with the life an addict lives. Also the book was not too long I was able to go back and forth listening whenever I needed encouragement from his wisdom.

Maybe better in print?
This was excruciating to listen to. (The written material may have been difficult to translate into spoken presentation?) I stayed to the end because I had to know how it all ended, but it was disappointing, repetitive and simplistic. (No insight whatsoever regarding why this person was such a mess.) Not a favorite!
