'My Friend Leonard will go some way to cementing his reputation as one of the finest young writers around.' -- Irish Examiner 20050604 'Excellent ! Frey's storytelling feels compulsive, involuntary ! poignant and tragic. The forthcoming film will almost certainly be a cult hit ! The good thing about Frey is that he writes as if he needs to; I hope his new compulsion thrives' -- William Leith, Spectator on A MILLION LITTLE PIECE 'James Frey's utterly mesmerising account ! [is] easily the most remarkable non-fiction book about drugs and drug taking since Hunter S Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas ! As a memoir, it is almost mythic. You can imagine it made epic by Martin Scorsese, the auteur of wayward American maleness in all its extremity ! Utterly compulsive' -- Observer on A MILLION LITTLE PIECES 'Frey really can write. Brilliantly. And if you don't think so, f*** you' -- London Evening Standard on A MILLION LITTLE PIECES 'An extraordinary and deeply moving book that will make you think about family, friendship, love, religion, death and perhaps most of all, the human spirit' -- Irish Sunday Independent on A MILLION LITTLE PIECE 'A heartbreaking memoir ! inspirational and essential' -- Bret Easton Ellis on A MILLION LITTLE PIECES 'This book is definitely going to be huge ! There is no question that he's a good writer. As soon as you start reading the book, Frey's voice rings out. It's clear and sharp and turbocharged ! We love rehab memoirs. This is a good one. It might even be a great one' -- Independent on A MILLION LITTLE PIECES 'He takes you inside his world of pain, and it's like a small, brightly lit cell ... Life, Frey tells us, is pretty disturbing and weird when you're out of your head. But try living it sober.' -- The Spectator 20050716 'A deeply affecting book. A tiring one, too: read it, and you will appreciate the way Frey weathered a full-frontal assault from emotions he didn't know existed. ... Vivid, splashy and mesmerising.' -- Independent 20050721 The idea of reading about the road to recovery of someone whose lifestyle I could neither condone nor understand didn't inspire me at all. WRONG!!! Within two pages all prejudice was forgotten and I immediately felt an empathy with the main character.' -- Jayne Eyre, Leeds 20050721
