A Million Little Pieces pt. 2

Second blog post for A Million Little Pieces! It has become so good in the last few chapters, I still can't put it down. After arriving to Chicago, where his parents picked him up at the airport, they than take James to their cabin where they give him time to rest before they take him to this rehab center in MINNESOTA (: ha I think that's cool but anyway. He goes to the rehab center, not knowing what to think. They check him in, and than he starts his detox process. Which was miserable, he could barely move, throwing up, seeing things, anger issues. He didn't know what to do. He mets a few people, Leonard and a strange girl named Lily, she is sketchy so far but who knows. The writing is getting more intense, more explicit writing. I love reading books like this, an actual interesting story. It's not boring and it relates how people in todays society actually speak, I love it so far, and can't wait to keep reading. Keep ya posted!

A Million Little Pieces

Hi everybody! I am doing my first post for my outside reading assignment! I am reading A Million Little Pieces, the memoir by James Frey. I have only read around 40 some pages, and already I can't put it down. From the very first sentence I was intrigued. The book is not written in a "normal" format, it includes of extremly short sentences (some only one word) with a enter right after. It makes me want to keep reading, not like one HUGE overwhelming paragraph. The book so far is about Jame's and his life with drugs and alocohol, he is the narrator and protagonist. The opening scene is him on a plane with a hole in his cheek, a broken nose, missing teeth, and the smell of vomit all over him. He had no idea where the plane was going and what was going on. This was all within the first page, and it only gets better as you go on. The plane is going to Chicago, he gets off the plane to see his parents. They don't know how to respond, they are saddened and shocked. I won't go into to much that happens right away because I don't want to give too much away! (: I truly can't put it down, the word choice, the gut wrenching descriptions, and intense feel the book has leaves you always wanting more. From what I have heard, James is a struggling 23 year old man with serious drug and alcohol issues. At this point his mental and physical health is waisting away by the second. He has to go into a drug and alcohol clinic, or he wouldn't make it. I can't wait to continue reading and will keep you posted as I continue! :D

Welcome to my blog everybody, there is not too much now but will be later. I hope you enjoy!
