TT3, A Million Little Pieces

Read A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. It was interesting spending some time in a rehab, getting a feel for what the daily routines are like. Eating, drinking coffee, listening to lectures, one-on-one meetings with therapists and counselors seem to be the main ingredients of the routine. I appreciated his descriptions of the outdoors and his use of the fresh air when things got intense. He also describes a bright corridor several times during the book, his feelings about it changing according to his mood and state of recovery. At first he only feels comfortable in dark places  but by the end of the book, the corridor no longer bothers him.

I looked at photos of Hazleton on line, the rehab where the book takes place. It is a campus on a lake, a beautiful location. 

Didn’t care much for the book itself and was surprised that people were so upset about his lies and/or exaggerations…
