I do agree that lying is not acceptable…but his book is helping people, and he has gone through a lot in his life and overcome some things that i don’t think i could have dealt with…i think that he’s an amazing person and i hope that people continue to read his book and respect him for the wonderful person that he is…i mean think about it..america makes such a big deal about things…i’m not saying it’s right, but how many times have you lied or spun the story? Probably to many times to count…i like James Frey and i highly respect him.

I wish I had seen the parts with the publisher. They deserve a lot of the blame for all this. At least Frey first tried to sell his book as a novel. They never cared.
