Has anyone read this book?

It's good, but Very Graphic (literary wise) I would reccomend it.

He made a follow-up called My Friend Leonard. Heard it was good. I haven't read either book. Are those sprinkles? I wonder...

Some talk about sex. Vomit Desciptions. etc.


Not Graphic as in 'Saving Private Ryan', or anything.

Jarshewa
you had me at sex and vomit

Jarshewa
is that "my friend leonard" book all bullshit to?

Addiction
OK, so the guy made it all up... I read fiction too. Is this book worth reading as a FICTION story? Or does it matter that much that the author originally claimed it was true?

If it is possible to greatly dislike someone through their writing, this would be it. The man marketed this book as non-fiction at first. And everyone believed the babble he wrote. He was too cocky, made himself into the loveable drug addict who everyone looked up to. Basically he made himself out to be a God while he was 'supposidly' in rehab. And in the end, it was so surprise that he made himself out to be the ONLY one to basically stay sober and get on with his life. I'm sorry but drug/alcohol addictions are MUCH harder than a simple, No thank you, I don't want alcohol tonight. Especially when it's right under your nose. Though he could have gotten away with it once at the end, there is no way he could have denied himself alcohol again and stayed sober.

Thankfully they exposed this piece of garbage for what it really was: Fiction. I'm glad Oprah tore him a new one when she found it out. I greatly dislike this guy from what he wrote about himself and how he acts in his intervivews.
