By James Frey

Anyone read this.

Jr Minks had to have this book, so I got it for her for her birthday. She has read the first 35 or so pages and has explained some of it too me. It is absolutely heartbreaking.

This the biography of James Frey and his time in drug Rehab. But how he arrived was horrible. He was quite litterally.... broken. Broken legs, arms, teeth, face etc. With no recollection. I believe he is 24 years old at this point. OMG from what Jr Minks told me this sounds like quite the gut wrenching story.

Tis on the oprah book list.

I will read it after her, I just hope it isn't some book I should have approved first, mind you maybe it's shock value will be a good thing. Though Jr Minks is not a drug or alcohol user.

It's a pretty unbelievable story. But I think it's fine for her to read it.

I liked it, once I got past the parts that were really painful, and I

won't say what those were in order not to spoil it...

Thanks Val, it sounds to me like I will cry while reading it. I really do find these stories heart touching. I was sad just listening to Jr. Mink's interpretation. Yikes.

You guys...I read this entire book in 2 days! Its awesome. Then I went out and got the book that follows called My Friend Leanord. I read that one in three. I read both in 5 consecutive days thats how good this guy is!!!!!!

I sent it to my cousin and she got through the first 204 pages in one night. A friend of mine bought it and read about 100 pages the first night, and she isnt a reader.

ITS GREAT!!!
