Book plot: Spoiled rich kid with tough-guy attitude
Sorry Oprah, my give a damn is busted where these type of societal hacks are concerned.
I agree with this assessment on this subject.
Book plot: Spoiled rich kid with tough-guy attitude and severe alcoholism/crack addiction has his parents pay for a stay at the exclusive Hazelden clinic in Minnesota.
ie., Y - A - W - N
Can you boil it down a little?
Hey, here's a "novel" idea for the recreational drug losers out there.

I hope you never have something terrible happen in life such as drug or alcohol dependency. with your attitude you probably won't get much support. Noone wakes up and says Hey I think I'll be an addict today. I applaud James Frey for getting help and sticking with it. Now if our country could allow everyone to get help whether they had the finances to or not then we would be better off
Here's a some info about the investigation:
Thanks to Oprah Winfrey, author James Frey's "A Million Little Pieces" has sat atop best-seller lists since the TV star picked the nonfiction memoir for her powerful book club four months ago. Winfrey has called Frey's book, which chronicles his years as an alcoholic, drug addict, and criminal, "gut-wrenching" and "so real." Well, not exactly. A six-week investigation has determined that Frey's blockbuster is filled with fabrications, falsehoods, and other fakery. In a related note, a "rattled" Frey has lawyered up and is threatening to sue us for millions. Details at:
