A Million Little Lies?

Yes, I know everyone has already used that title.

In his newest book, A Million Little Pieces, James Frey tells us the harrowing story of his life as a drug addict/alcoholic and as a criminal in the midwest. Part of the story takes place in Benton Harbor/St. Joe, Michigan.
The newest feature on thesmokinggun.com is an expose of the “facts” surrounding the author’s life/book. The article claims Frey fabricated events and lied about his connection with the deaths of two St. Joseph High School girls. The article also raises questions about his criminal record.

thesmokinggun.com is an investigative website that guarantee’s all of it’s content to be “100% authentic.”

James Frey is also the author of My Friend Leonard, another non-fiction book, about his former cell mate, a mob boss, in a Minnesota prison months after A Million Little Pieces ends.

A Million Little Pieces is currently being made into a feature film.
