Title: Telling lies does matter
Product review: I was about half way through this book when I began hearing all of the "hoopla" surrounding it. At first, I was not all that interested. Then, after watching Oprah, I fully began to understand the gravity of the situation. Like Oprah and millions of other readers, I became really invested in Frey and his tales of addiction. I wanted to read this book and find out what happens...not to some fictionalized character but to James Frey, the person. If I wanted to read a fictionalized account of addiction and rehab., I would have. This was put out as a memoir and thus, should have some semblance of authenticity. It's one thing to change a few minor details to protect people, but it's another rhelm of literature all together to fabricate a story (it's called fiction). I think this is just another fine example of the dumbing down of America. We were duped again.In the end, I thrrew the book away - disguisted.
