I thought 'a million little pieces' was really good. I wasn't sure, given the subject matter, that this book would be for me but the way it was written enabled the book to captivate me and I felt it was easy to get to know James and what was going on in his head. This made it quite easy to follow the story. Admittedly I did find the middle a little repetitive but the book as a whole more then makes up for that and even if it has turned out that some of the book is not quite true, 'a million little pieces' remains a really good read.

'A million little pieces' was already sat in my 'to be read' pile when Carey
announced it as a book club read and it did not disappoint me. Though I found
some of the grosser descriptions at the beginning of the book about sick and
teeth-pulling difficult to read, the characters kept me reading. I quickly
liked James and I just felt so sorry for that poor mother who could barely do
anything to begin with, except cry. I also think James' first encounter with
Hank kept me reading as not only was Hank, a really likeable guy. His initial
interaction with James was the first time in the book that I saw a different
side to James and some hope that he might just pull himself out of this. The
book also left me wishing I had a little Tao book to refer to!
