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
