A Million Little Pieces by James Frey (memoir)
Paperback: 448 pages
Publisher: Anchor (September 22, 2005)
Language: English
ISBN: 0307276902

“I am twenty-three years old and I’ve been an Alcoholic for a decade and a drug Addict and Criminal for almost as long and I’m wanted in three states and I’m in a Hospital in the middle of Minnesota and I want to drink and I want to do some drugs and I can’t control myself.”

James Frey’s memoir* is horrifying and fantastic, truth and falsehood, inspirational while still a deterrent. It is the story of a drug addict who goes to rehab in Minnesota to recover. During his stay he befriends fellow addicts, renews old relationships, and finds out just how strong he is. It is a definite must-read.


The word "know" is used 683 times in A Million Little Pieces by James Frey

Note: Each week the Courier will spotlight books newly available in the James Logan Media Center.
