The only reason I read this book was because it was published as non fiction. A class action lawsuit should be filed against Doubleday, Frey and Harpo for misrepresenting this rotton liar.

If you're going to write a memoir it had better be true, otherwise, write fiction.

I have not read this book. I saw The Smoking Gun's article about the investigations into the criminal charges Mr. Frey has noted. I do not doubt that others have found the tale moving. I am sure it is. But the truth is a fragile object, especially to those who are addicts.

An ex-addict who claims to have come through this harrowing experience through nothing but his own willpower is hard to believe. No matter how much I want to believe it. No one gets through these situations alone. NO ONE. Mr. Frey should be ashamed and admit what he has done. I have no problem with it being fiction. But do not tout it as fact and sell it as such if it is not. Making money off the hope and faith of others is about as low as one can get and unfortunately Mr. Frey has sunk lower than claims to have sunk in his memoirs. He should be utterly ashamed of himself.

Come clean or produce someone who can back up the claims you make. It is quite remarkable that all the people with whom you share this story are "unreachable".

Quite remarkable indeed.

A class action lawsuit was filed in Chicago against Frey and his publishers on Jan. 12, 2006. What do you think about this?
