A Million Little Pieces

 My ISU novel is very interesting. The topic revolves around drugs and drug culture. I am very sceptical while reading this book because James Frey ( the author) supposedly lied and over aggregated the text. I have to decipher which parts of his book are lies and which are the truth in order to understand drug culture so it is mandatory to have second text to back up the truth and to oppose the lies.

This video is a little preview on Oprah confirming he had over aggregated his story.

  1. Rachel, when you are preparing for your ISU presentation, be sure not to focus heavily on the fact that the "memoir" is mostly lies. That is not to say, avoid it. I think it is important for you to share this information with the audience. It would be interesting to view the book as a fictional memoir and discover if the details in the story about drug culture are actually accurate.
