"I wanted to read A Million Little Pieces because I'd heard so much about it. I heard about it from a friend who had read it and liked it a lot when it first came out.
A Million Little Pieces is about - is a true story about James Frey who is at the age of 23 such had been using drugs and been drinking alcohol for so long, he was an incredible alcoholic, that by the age of 23 he's pretty close to death if he continues with his addictions. So he checks into rehab, and this is - the book is the story of his journey through rehab. My grandfather, whose name was Noel - who I'm named after; I got my name from him - he was an alcoholic. When my dad - he's my dad's dad - when my dad was seven or eight, my grandfather was drunk in bed one night, smoking a cigarette, and fell asleep and burnt himself up in bed; and that's how he died. So having that alcoholism in my family, I wanted to read this book and see what it was all about.
I'd recommend A Million Little Pieces to anybody. You don't have to have been an alcoholic or drug user or to have had that in your family to get something from this book. I would give A Million Little Pieces three or four stars out of five. It's a great story, and it's written in a way that doesn't distract from that story being told. I think it's just an amazing story of one man's battle against himself and against his biggest problem."
