Wow what a book. I know it is filled with lies, however it does not fail to entertain. Upon finishing the book I looked up James Fray, found out what was proven to be a lie in the book, and also looked for other books written by him. I immediately ordered My Friend Leonard and hope to get to that book soon.
The book is about an addict who should have died but was saved by his friends, family, and rehab center. He focused on all of the people who helped him from the guy who drove a van who surprisingly was married to a councilor at the rehab facility. To all of the other addicts that befriended him, including his girlfriends who turned out to truly be imaginary in real life.
A few times in the book he seemed to be overly negative of people who were proven to be liars which at this point in time is pretty ironic. He also told his story as though he was the exception and everyone saw something in him that they did not see in others. It really brings into question his ego and how far he would stretch the truth to write a good story.
Never the less it was very interesting to see the world from the perspective of a potential drug addict. Hopefully his next tale of half truths is just as entertaining.
