James Frey - Fudgemaster

Man, Frey is really pissing me off now. I saw him on Larry King last night, and the guy did not really answer a single question. We can only hope this turd doesn't run for office. How can we figure out what percentage of what he said in his book "A Million Little Pieces" is truth? He says only the parts outside the facility are disputed. Well guess what, that's because it's the only part that can be disputed. The internal records are off limits. This makes me wonder that if he's willing to take some hefty liberties with "facts" that can be easily disputed, how much B.S. is this phony throwing at us in the sections we can't confirm or deny.

Some people make the argument that even though the author is discredited, the book stands as a great read and a great source of motivation for those that feel they have no hope. Really? If this book motivated you to think you could rise above your problems, only to find that it is lies so someone could make some money, wouldn't you feel burned? Wouldn't make you even more distrusting of those trying to motivate and lift you up? A great read? Hardly, the choppy prose and blue-collar writing style leads you to believe the author doesn't care about style or flow, and is just too raw to worry about it. Come to find out, he's a soft-spoken author by profession.

I think there is going to be so much come out against this guy proving he's full of it, that the publisher will eventually set a precedent and offer refunds or some kind of credit.
