  • ""Aged just twenty-three, James Frey had destroyed his body and his mind almost beyond repair through drink and drugs. When he enters a rehabilitation centre to try to reclaim his life, he has to fight to determine what future, if any, he has. His lack of self-pity, cynicism and piety gives him an unflinching attitude that is at once charming and appalling searing and darkly funny."--P. [4] of cover."@en
  • "When he entered a residential treatment center at the age of 23, James Frey had destroyed his body and his mind almost beyond repair. Surrounded by patients as troubled as he and a droning dogma of how to recover, Frey had to fight to find his own way to confront the consequences of the life he had lived so far, and to determine what future, if any, he had."@en
  • "The author tells the true story of his recovery from drug and alcohol addiction, beginning with his enrollment in a Minnesota rehabilitation center after a two-week blackout and ending with his rejection of all Twelve Step programs."
  • "The electrifying opening of James Frey's debut memoir, A Million Little Pieces, smash-cuts to the then 23-year-old author on a Chicago-bound plane "covered with a colorful mixture of spit, snot, urine, vomit and blood." Wanted by authorities in three states, without ID or any money, his face mangled and missing four front teeth, Frey is on a steep descent from a dark marathon of drug abuse. His stunned family checks him into a famed Minnesota drug treatment center where a doctor promises "he will be dead within a few days" if he starts to use again, and where Frey spends two agonizing months of detox confronting "The Fury" head on."@en
