Critical Praise

"Gripping . . . A great story . . . You can't help but cheer his victory."

——Los Angeles Times Book Review

"A brutal, beautifully written memoir."

——The Denver Post

"Again and again, the book delivers recollections that leave the reader winded and unsteady. James Frey's staggering recovery memoir could well be seen as the final word on the topic."

——San Francisco Chronicle

"The most lacerating tale of drug addiction since William S. Burroughs' Junky."

——The Boston Globe
