Smoking Gun casts doubt on Frey's 'Pieces'
By Gary Strauss and Carol Memmott, USA TODAY
A popular investigative website and author James Frey are in a dust-up over the authenticity of Frey's best-selling memoir, A Million Little Pieces.

TheSmokingGun.com says in a lengthy article that a six-week examination of police and court records, as well as interviews with law enforcement personnel, show that Frey fabricated or embellished details of his law-breaking days.

A Million Little Pieces, published in 2003, is Frey's account of his criminal past and rampant drug and alcohol abuse. It became a hit after Oprah Winfrey in October anointed it one of her book club picks. It has sold more than 3.5 million copies and now is No. 1 on USA TODAY's Best-Selling Books list.

I can see rampant drug and alcohol abuse, especially in readers of
Oprah's books. Maybe I've been foolish but over the past few years
I've attempted to read several of her book club selections. (OK, reason for
this: they were free) Man. Never again. The only one I finished, I did so
because I just couldn't believe it was going to be that bad all the
way to the end. So is Frey's book fiction? Who cares? If it's readable it's
got a leg up on most of the other stuff Oprah endorses. The question of
whether this guy is a self aggrandizing (self deggrandizing?) liar is another
thing. But, you know, who cares?
