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.

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.
