Customer Review: If you are looking for more of the riveting, in your face, can't put it down experience of AMLP, this ain't it. Did get me pretty choked up a couple of times.

Customer Review: I read both of James Frey's other books and loved them both very much. When I got my kindle and saw that he had another book out I couldn't pass it up. I started it exactly a week ago and ever since any free time i had i needed to read it. The book is made up of many stories within a story. It tells... more info

This was like an appetizer, I wanted a full course meal.
There are great stories along with facts but this... more info
Customer Review: They say "Don't judge a book by its cover." I've also learned not to judge a book by its title. It's probably my fault that I didn't do a bit more research into what this book was about before I purchased it, but the title caught my eye and I tend to be an impulsive buyer when it comes to books.... more info
Customer Review: I can easily understand why this book was banned for a long time. It is...explicit. But because it was written 2 centuries ago, the descriptions are far from crass and you have to read some sections twice to make sure that what you thought just happened really did happen.
