I'll buy the book simply because Oprah was such a B*T*H to him when he had the guts to come back on her show and answer questions about the book. She was just concerned about her own reputation and I believe she set him up and attacked him. She could have voiced her displeasure to him for representing the book as non-fiction, but still commended him on his talent as a writer and acknowledged his book was a "good read". Isn't that the reason you recommend a book to begin with, whether fact or fiction? Because it is a good and interesting read? Chastise him for lying, if she must, but don't attack the guy and try to ruin him, just to save her a$$.

I am buying this book because oprah was so mean to him on her show she acted like we didn't have freedom of speech in this country and he could not write what he wanted. He had to embellish the truth so it would seem interesting to the readers and the people who read it was being helped from addictions and all she cared about is not that people was being helped by the story but what she felt like the book was a lie. I believe that because of her reaction might have causes others to not get the help and encouragement to succeed as he did with others and for that I hope I win the lottery, No, I pray I win I will not only buy 1 book but hundreds.

Damn right I will buy this book. Just because Oprah has a TV program does not make her the expert on all topics. In fact, she is less informed on most issues than most people. Her opinion and $4.00 will by a gallon of gasoline. His book, real or imagined, has an amazing view of what it takes to find the road to recovery. Those of us who have travelled that road know his portrayal is closer to reality than Oprah has ever been.

I found it funny that guy lied and Oprah was stupid in having his book on her book club as carols mencia says dee dee

Absolutely would buy his book - it was one of the first times that I saw Oprah being more concerned about herself and her ego than she was by the amount of help, support and benefit Frey's book had for other recovering people. After many years in recovery, if I wrote a memoir, my memories would be quite different than those around me at the time who were actually sober. So many people were being helped and feeling connected instead of alone, and she actually tried to take away from that to "humbly" talk about how honorable she was. To me, the most honorable thing would have been to say, I hope this accounting of addiction helps others to have some hope. Instead she worried about herself instead of the thousands of others who were helped by identifying with his feelings, the facts didn't matter.

How stupid to go back to bigheaded Oprah
