A Million Little PIeces By James Frey (Read Feb/Mar 2011) - BOOK REVIEW

2/3/2011

A very good read.  The book is about a drug and alcohol addict trying to get over his addiction. 

I expected to come out thinking it was his own fault and I anticipated a lot of self pity but by the time I was through I had a lot of respect for the guy.  I feel better able to relate to the life of an addict and although James Frey refused to accept a genetic predisposition to his addiction, I think it could well be the case for many people.  My favourite lines in the book were:

-  When one lives without fear, one cannot be broken.  When one lives with fear one is broken before one begins to live
- Confront the difficult while it is easy, accomplish the great one step at a time
- Miles on women: "There's no use 'trying' with them. You just 'do'." (Clever man!)
- Sometimes skulls are thick.  Sometimes hearts are vacant.  Somtimes words don't work.  The violence was necessary
