How fortunate all of us would be to have such a good friend as Leonard!!! Although this book is not quite as good as A Million Little Pieces, it still evokes great passion for the author. The writing style is unique and reads very quickly. You come away with a sense that the author has made it through the worst of times. I was rooting for James Frey from the moment I started his first book. A wonderful author...I hope he keeps on writing and fills his audience in on his life today.
