Synopsis Author

James Frey wakes up on a plane, with no memory of the preceding two weeks. His face is cut and his body is covered with bruises. He has no wallet and no idea of his destination. He has abused alcohol and every drug he can lay his hands on for a decade - and he is aged only twenty-three. What happens next is one of the most powerful and extreme stories ever told. His family takes him to a rehabilitation centre. And James Frey starts his perilous journey back to the world of the drug and alcohol-free living. His lack of self-pity is unflinching and searing. A Million Little Pieces is a dazzling account of a life destroyed and a life reconstructed. It is also the introduction of a bold and talented literary voice.

James Frey

James Frey is an American author best known for his fictional memoirs A Million Little Pieces and My Friend Leonard. The two books, published in 2003 and 2005 respectively, were originally published as non-fiction and were hugely successful throughout the world. However, in 2006 it came to light that most of the events were either exaggerated or entirely fictional.

Since then he has openly written fiction with Bright Shiny Morning and The Final Testament, as well as founding Full Fathom Five, a production company that aims to create highly commercial novels. The company has produced the popular Lorien Legacies books.

“Breathtaking!”

Couldn't put it down, this author made me feel as if I was with him every step of his recovery. Actually felt sad when I finished the book because I had to say goodbye to him!!
