I enjoyed James Frey’s books. What I enjoyed the most was that my youngest son read them while I did and we discussed the books. I found Oprah to be ‘holier-than-thou’ with her attack on James Frey. To me, it was always a work of fiction. Anyone remembering their past is coloring within or out of the lines as they see fit. Our own perception of our past is just that, our own. I have two brothers. When we talk about our childhood, I’m always surprised how much our memories differ. So Mr. Frey embellished to sell his book- big shock? No, not really. Did he intentionally lie to his publisher? Possibly, probably, and that is where I have an issue. But then, did the publisher know it was a lie?….possibly, probably……….so is there anything to have issue with? Books are meant to sell. sensationalism sells. This could get me going on news. Or what we call news now adays. If the story isn’t sensational, you will rarely see it on the ‘news’. Reporting the facts, is now telling the story. If facts are involved, then it seems it’s a coincidence, not the intent. Oops! I’m off on another rant. I’ll stop here. Love the idea of this site!
