Скачать или смотреть Plot summary, “A Million Little Pieces” by James Frey in 5 Minutes - Book Review

A Million Little Pieces (2003) is a controversial semi-fictional memoir by James Frey that follows his harrowing journey through drug and alcohol rehabilitation. Beginning with James waking up on a plane with severe injuries and no memory of how he got there, the story unfolds at a private rehab clinic where he forms deep bonds with other patients, including a young woman named Lilly and a mafia figure named Leonard. As James confronts his inner demons—symbolized by "the Fury"—and endures painful treatment, including unanesthetized dental surgery, he struggles with responsibility, love, and self-worth. Despite breaking clinic rules and resisting traditional recovery programs, James ultimately chooses sobriety. The book became a bestseller and Oprah Book Club pick before being discredited when Frey admitted to fabricating key parts of the narrative.
