I also heart James Frey! I love love loved My Friend Leonard so much, I cried for days!

Have you read Bright Shiny Morning yet? I loved it.

I've read them all.

A Million Little Pieces is pure genius.

I honestly believe he is going to go down as one of the best writers of our generation.

The whole lying thing was really not his fault.  His publishers insisted that his book be published as non-fiction even after they told him it was an embellished story.

They basically forced him to lie if he wanted his book to be promoted.  That sucks.

I still judge him for it, but he is an excellent writer.  His style is just so amazing...and I usually hate modern day authors.

I think he is extremely brilliant too. It was nearly impossible for me to put any of his books down.

I think the whole lying thing was blown out of proportion. For me the bottom line is that he lived through that whole ordeal and so what if some minor details were embelished, I blame the publishers more than I blame him and I blame Oprah for discrediting him as a writer.

I can't wait to see what he puts out next.
