Title: Ho-hum
Product review: Even without the controversy, A Million Little Pieces was a big let down. Frey is not half the writer he seems to think he is: the prose is clumsy, mawkish and talks more about the authors pleading need to be accepted, than it does about his 'recovery'. "Digging the Vein" was a similar book that came out right at the same time, which offered a rage filled altenative to the traditional AA-inspired recovery memoirs. It boggles my mind that frey's book had the success it did, while "Digging..." has so far flown beneath the radar. Just goes to show you that Oprah may be good at interviewing celebrities, but when it comes to literature she's pretty clueless.
