The Truth

In response to the post below mine, I don't agree with what Oprah did either.
I read "A Million Little Pieces" by James Frey AFTER the whole thing with Oprah happened and I think it made the book better. I knew it wasn't true & I knew that he had lied about it being true. That is cool, that takes guts I guess.
More truth can be found in a lie, just like O'Brien focuses on. Maybe James Frey's rehab experience was not as graphic or bloody...but maybe it felt like it was? Maybe it hurt just the same, I think it makes someone a better author if they can find another way of showing what they want instead of just using fancy words and details...even if that is a complete lie.
