Although this may be viewed as a well written work, the revelation that this "memoir" was really a work of fiction made me completely unable to enjoy it. And, if you have ever had the misfortune to know and love someone with addiction problems, then you know that they would never, in a hundred years, be able to recall events from their drinking and drugging days with such clarity and specificity. The trick that Frey (apparently) tried to play on the literary community has tainted his chances of ever being taken seriously again. Which is a shame, because it's not a poorly written book.
