Yes! I picked up this book only after the scandal broke out involving the authorand the lies in the book and w/Oprah. I was curious what the big deal was about. What more can I say? I loved it! Yes, who the hell cares whether it’s true or not, it’s a great story! Beside how could someone believe this is real, come on people! (Some parts are just ridiculousness! He hits a cop w/ his car and then goes to jail for 3 months.)
So what if he did embellished the story, it makes it more interesting. I liked his writing style, it’s different, raw, and easy to understand - draws your attention. Maybe b/c he keeps using the F word; which I didn’t mind at all. After all he is a recovering crack addict; James gives you a look into the harsh world of addiction and makes you want to NEVER become addicted to anything or else you’ll turn into one of them or worst like the girlfriend.
