Helpful Score: 4

When I first read this book I was in total love with Frey's harrowing descriptions of addiction and its impact on his life at such an early age. I loved his use of language and omission of punctuation and felt he had truly broken new ground in the literary memoir category. However, it has now come out that much of the "facts" of the book are not really true and that Frey himself is somewhat of a jerk. But whatever you believe it is well worth a look.
