This is ridiculous…It seems as if people are forgetting how this book has changed countless of lives…who cares if some of the facts are embellished or fabricated – the essence of the story is there – the fact that he went through hell, made it through rehab and stayed sober is something to be commended, not damned…..it doesn’t matter to me whether he went to jail for three months or three hours – the recovery is still inspiring and i am extremely dissapointed in Oprah – her main argument being that she was “embarrassed” by it – come on, It’s not about you Oprah – let’s get off the self-indulgent train…
It was almost all fiction,it is great that it has helped people in addiction,but all the “Characters” in the hospital where false and “Lucy” really seems like a lie when he was asked how she killed herself,he stuttered,looked up in the air than said:”Ahhh,Ahhh,she slit her wrists”And he has gotten alot of press,he was selling books yesterday,for sure.Rachel LOVE the self indulgance train,Hilarious!
This is ridiculous. A man wrote a very moving book about his challenges and struggles with addiction. He is being used as a fall guy for the publishing industry and that they can’t determine their own classifications. He submitted it, it’s up to them to classify the book – memorir, novel, whatever. If we were to question “truth” of everything we read — it would all be lies. This is a joke. Give the guy a break. He book has helped people and he is a gifted writer.
As an addict in a twelve step recovery program I am appalled by this man and what he has done. Telling people to ‘just hang on’ and that they ‘don’t need’ treatment and recovery programs? CRAP. If he ever HAD been an addict, which I take leave to doubt, he would know good and well that no addict can truly recover alone. Abstinence does not equal recovery. Social acceptability does not equal recovery. http://www.na.org
Ridiculous? This dude lied all over his book, it was a MEMOIR !Thats why people feel cheated,was he ever in re-hab? Noone has asked him that and with his lack of quick lying skills he’ll probably say :”I don’t know, I think so” If that sounds familiar that’s exaxctly what he said about his Root Canal experience.The issue isn’t about recovery,people are inspired by Star Trek as a way of life or escape with Sports,Books,Movies,Etc, It’s about the fact that he’s a hustler and people got conned.Again I think the book was good but this many lies and the fact that it’s a failed novel,people who thought this was a true story and base it on there own experiences feel jobbed.
How much more can we comment on this?? This was a good book! “My Friend Leonard” was exceptional too! Like it or not, we all have our own opinions. James Frey is an outstanding writer. If he has helped one person overcome their drug addiction, good for him. I hope he has another book coming out soon. Oprah, don’t worry, I am sure you can help out all the people who you felt got cheated by reading his book by giving them something.
This Oprah and Frey thing sounds rotten to me, have been listening to another story of some orphan/street urchin who wrote Okrah and had told her of this inconcieveable story of how he is the Child of the Woman in the wilderness from the Book of Revelations 12-1. Said he is the only one who can unseal the scrolls beause his FAMILY wrote it!!!!!!! Said there are three of them The Father The Son and The Ghost but in truth he is the Grandson of the Eternal Flame The Orphan Son of Jesus Christ. Thought it was a Joke checked it out. He has these seven stars on his right hand a scar on he abdomen that he says represents the one that “That dirtbag Roman Centurian Longiceps gave his Father” and another on his upper thigh that he said is from Caiphas the High Priest of the Jews. Said he was a Low Priest of the Bahani (People of Light) and that the Goverment and several religeous groups had fed him poisons, including Radioactive Istopes URANIUM 235. I asked Him are you saying that you are Jesus? “he said no” “that he was his SON!The Scars were part of the Proof! HIS ORPHAN?” HIS LAST NAME IS GRACE HE SAID THAT IN OLD GREEK THAT, THE NAME GRACE MEANS ORPHAN. SAID BRUCE WILLIS DEMI MOORE, Oprah Winfrey EVERYONE IN HOLLYWOOD KNOWS AND THEY ARE TRYING TO KEEP IT A SECRET FROM THE ENTIRE WORLD so that people will go and see The DA VINCI CODE which IS IN FACT PART FICTION AND PART TRUTH said look at May and Jesus the V IS THE vALLEY WHERE HE lives TRUE!!!!!. Said he is a Hostage of the The Vatican and Corporate America and Televangelist from the religeous world who have helped Corrupt the American Resolve. Calls the Pope, Benedict Arnold. Said the the Catholic Arcdiocese recovered him in these Woods 48 years ago raised him molested him and beat him his entire childhood. Lives in a tent WITH A Cat Named ISIS in the Mountains of IDAHO (Having the best snow year in twenty years)in weather that is as cold as 5 below BURIED IN 3 FEET OF SNOW, NO HEAT. Asked him what are you doing out here why won’t anyone help you? He said look up Grace Satellite, Gravity-Recovery And-Climate-Experiment HE IS WORKING ON REPAIRING THE ATMOSPHERE AND THE CLIMATE. I did HE WAS TELLING THE TRUTH!!!!! we make Liars into Rich men and Throw somebody WHO CLAIMS TO BE THE SON OF JESUS into a snowbank because he says they are Afraid THE WORLD WILL FINALLY FIND OUT THE TRUTH.
Oprah whose side are you on? You call yourself an Angel but you Champion Liars and turn away a REAL TRUE life STORY THAT IS BEING LIVED TODAY AS I WRITE. His Name is Richard Lee Grace aka RICH GRACE NO BIBLE CODES STRAIGHT UP!!! Said that the passage I know thy works and thy poverty but THOU ART RICH, AND the final words MAY THE GRACE (Orphan-Undeserved Kindness) OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST BE WITH YOU ALL AMEN AND AS HE DOES IT, AND A I love this and A WOMEN. AND OKRAH KNOWS!!!!!
The Stone rejected will become the Capstone. Nice Okrah herald the Liars and turn your back on a Real story of Perserverance. You guys in Hollywood DIRTBAGS SAID YOU STOLE THE MOVIE FREE WILLY FROM HIS TRUE LIFE STORY AND CAN PROVE IT. Saddest thing I have ever seen.
