A Million Little Pieces

This book is totally amazing. It does away with most of the usual requirements of writing: punctuation and grammer and drags you right in. Im not usually one for memoirs but that has to be one of the most startling and moving books Ive ever read...has anyone else?

Re: A Million Little Pieces

Who is it by and what is it about? I'm starting my own novel, I can do punctuation and grammer, but I haven't got a plot yet.

Re: A Million Little Pieces

It's by James Frey, its his memoirs. He's 23 and an alcoholic and drug addict and its kinda his story of getting through it in a 12 step hospital when he dosent believe in god. I usually HATE memoirs but this one is really different...Im shite at this sorta thing so here's a link to a bit about his feelings on the book by the author and a bit of blurb about it
