Helpful Score: 3

I think this book gives the reader a personal experience of having a relationship with an addict. They lie. They make you believe them and feel for them and then you find out they manipulated you. I not certain of any claim in this book except for the one that Mr. Frey is an addict. Clearly his recovery, if he had one from actual drugs and alcohol, did not cure him of his adictive behavior. That said, the experience of reading this book before learning that it wasn't true and then discovering the facts is exactly the experience of caring for an addict. For that experience alone it is worth reading, especially if you can let yourself believe him still and then imagine discovering the fraud. I'm not sure it is worth the read as fiction.
