Rezension zu „A Million Little Pieces “
Excellent ... Frey's storytelling feels compulsive, involuntary ... poignant and tragic. The forthcoming film will almost certainly be a cult hit ... The good thing about Frey is that he writes as if he needs to; I hope his new compulsion thrives William Leith, Spectator James Frey's utterly mesmerising account ... [is] easily the most remarkable non-fiction book about drugs and drug taking since Hunter S Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas ... As a memoir, it is almost mythic. You can imagine it made epic by Martin Scorsese, the auteur of wayward American maleness in all its extremity ... Utterly compulsive Observer Frey really can write. Brilliantly. And if you don't think so, f*** you Evening Standard Clear sighted and intellectually honest Literary Review A heartbreaking memoir ... inspirational and essential Bret Easton Ellis This book is definitely going to be huge ... There is no question that he's a good writer. As soon as you start reading the book, Frey's voice rings out. It's clear and sharp and turbocharged ... We love rehab memoirs. This is a good one.

intelligence and an unusual strength of character ... a totally absorbing book The Magistrate Harrowing and unflinching ... This is not a book about drugs but about their aftermath ... Though definitely not for the faint hearted, Frey is often darkly and self deprecatingly funny. This is, in essence, a story of redemption and an incredibly moving one. This is a great book Waterstone's Books Quarterly This book is a raging, brilliant debut. Waterstone's Books Quarterly Crafted from genuine, raw emotion. Irish Examiner 'Blisteringly written ... The prose is superb' Daily Express 'James Frey propelled the memoir of dysfunctional life to the top of the bestseller lists' Daily Telegraph 'Frey's book combined high quality drug porn with memorable characters and a strong narrative arc that describes a modern version of Rake's Progress.' Druglink Magazine 'The last remarkable book I read... I couldn't put it down.' Q Magazine, Dave Matthews
