Follow up on My Friend Leonard

Comparing My Friend Leonard to James Frey's first book A Million Little Pieces, I feel they were two different types of books. A Million Little Pieces was more graphic and the truth of what a hard core drug addict recovery would be like. I felt that My Friend Leonard was more lighter and was still about his recovery but other factors of death (Lilly) and keeping jobs and girlfriends went more in depth. The whole time I read both books I thought I could never go through what he went through. Yes, as Oprah so nicely pointed out SOME points of his autobiography were not true (no Novocaine during a root canal and time in jail were falsely written) I still feel James Frey changed thousands of peoples lives by the simple phrase "hold on." He frequently uses this throughout his pains and urges to use drugs and alcohol again. He expresses this addiction through coffee and slowly becomes "normal." I'd love to meet James Frey in person I think he's a fascinating person and one of the best writers.
