Title: Good non-fiction, bad fiction
Product review: .When it was a 'true life' memoir I found the book to be engaging (although overwrought in some places). You could sense he exaggerated some, but such seems to be the nature of addicts. It was one of those stories which kept you thinking, "This would be lame if it wasn't true". Well, turns out it wasn't true, so in fact is totally lame.As a piece of fiction it flat out sux. The hoary cliches and steroetypical characters are the stuff one expects from a college freshman writing class. Now that Frey has been exposed as a fraud he's also been exposed as a bad writer.Phoney.....
