caninelover's Full Review: James Frey - My Friend Leonard
I bought My Friend Leonard to read on the beach on my honeymoon, and it was hard to put it down! It's a compelling story about the trials and tribulations of a former drug addict and his very good friend, who is also a former drug addict. They have formed a true bond, and throughout the book there are many real life type of experiences that they go through together. This is actually the sequel to James Frey's first book, A Million Little Pieces. In My Friend Leonard, you get more familiar with the characters, and come to care about them despite their personal issues. The main character who is actually named James, just finishes serving his time in jail, and is on his way to see the love of his life (Lilly), who he met in rehab. Upon his arrival to be reunited with Lilly, he finds out that she has hung herself just one day before he gets out. He is completely devastated, and calls on his one true friend, Leonard. Throughout the story, James is recovering not only from his loss of Lilly, but still struggles with his urge for his past addictions. He leans on Leonard for support, and tries to make it in the world on his own and with a new outlook on life. It makes the reader wish that friends like the ones portrayed in this book were a part of reality. This book really pulls at your heart strings, and keeps the you wanting to read more.http://www.epinions.com/elec.
