I just picked up the book tonight. Has anyone else read it?

No, But I want to read it. The Author is going to be on Larry King Live tonight... Apparently the Smoking Gun website is claiming a lot of what is written is lies, or really over embelished. And the author and his lawyers tried to stop the site from posting such info. They claim to have checked out a few things that he said or wrote about where there would be court records, police records etc. and they don't add up. Doesn't matter, I still want to read it.

I tried to last year when my husband first went into rehab. Someone gave it to me, but it was hitting too close to home, so I couldn't read it. I've heard it's good though.

There was a whole big deal on Air America tonight on this book. Apparantly, the guy lifted his entire story from other AA/NA members at meetings. Supposedly, he had his court records purged so that no one follow up on it (I find that one kind of unbelivable). So, when whoever was investigating this pulled all the police reports, they either were contradictory to the passages in his book, or the passages in his book didn't exist at all.
Apparantly, he has hired a big gun Hollywood lawyer to defend/protect him from all the stuff that's going on- the same lawyer that defended/protected Eddie Murphy when he was screwing around with all those Trannies. |

It was pretty interesting when Oprah called in there at the end of Larry King. Frey was looking at Larry with what looked to be hatred in his eyes. I don't know about this guy.

I liked the book well enough, but so much of it rang false for me in the initial read that I wasn't surprised by this news. I work part-time in a bookstore, and when the initial James Frey fever hit, we were selling out of every shipment we had of the book- we're talking hundreds of copies a night. It was insane. I'm waiting to see if people start bringing their books in for refunds, as apparently Random House has advised them to do ? |

He looks like he's had a rough time of it with all the bad press... But like he said, it's kind of the price you pay for having #2 in sales for 05. But I give him credit for remaining calm, I know I probably couldn't have, and he has to stand up for his product if he wants to continue to sell books now and in the future. |
