Reviews"From the get-go, [Frey's] book sets itself a part, its narrative unspooling in short, unindented paragraphs and barely punctuated sentences whose spare, deadpan language belies the horror of what he's describing a meltdown dispatched in telegrams." -The New York Times Book Review "One of the best stories of transformation I've ever read. . . . Anyone who has ever felt broken and wished for a better life will find inspiration in Frey's story. This won't be the last we'll hear of him." -People "A ripping, gripping read. It's a staggeringly sober book whose stylistic tics are well-suited to its subject matter, and a finger in the eye of the culture of complaint . . . Engrossing." -Philadelphia Inquirer "A frenzied, electrifying description of the experience." The New Yorker "We finish A Million Little Pieces like miners lifted out of a collapsed shaft: exhausted, blackened, oxygen-starved, but alive, thrillingly, amazingly alive." Minneapolis Star-Tribune "One of the most compelling books of the year… Incredibly bold…Somehow accomplishes what three decades' worth of cheesy public service announcements and after-school specials have failed to do: depict hard-core drug addiction as the self-inflicted apocalypse that it is." The New York Post "Thoroughly engrossing . . . Hard-bitten existentialism bristles on every page . . . Frey's prose is muscular and tough, ideal for conveying extreme physical anguish and steely determination." Entertainment Weekly "Incredible… Mesmerizing…Heart-rending." Atlanta Journal-Constitution "A rising literary star… has birthed a poetic account of his recovery. [A Million Little Pieces is] stark… disturbing… rife with raw emotion..." Chicago Sun-Times "Frey will probably be hailed in turn as the voice of a generation." Elle Magazine "We can admire Frey for his fierceness, his extremity, his solitary virtue, the angry ethics of his barroom tribe, and his victory over his furies… A compelling book." New York Magazine "An intimate, vivid and heartfelt memoir. Can Frey be the greatest writer of his generation? Maybe." New York Press "Incredible… A ferociously compelling memoir." Cleveland Plain Dealer "Insistent as it is demanding… A story that cuts to the nerve of addiction by clank-clank-clanking through the skull of the addicted… A critical milestone in modern literature." Orlando Weekly "At once devastatingly bleak and heartbreakingly hopeful. . . . Frey somehow manages to make his step-by-step walk through recovery compelling." Charlotte Observer "A stark, direct and graphic documentation of the rehabilitation process . . . The strength of the book comes from the truth of the experience." The Oregonian "A virtual addiction itself, viscerally affecting . . . Compulsively readable." City Paper (Washington, DC) "Powerful . . . haunting . . . addictive . . . A beautiful story of recovery and reconciliation." Iowa City Press-Citizen "An exhilarating read . . . Frey's
