It Will Tie Your Stomach in Knots
Simply put, I really liked ?A Million Little Pieces.? I agree with the review comparisons to ?Nightmares Echo,? ?Running With Scissors,? and of course ?My Fractured Life.? I also would include ?Less Than Zero? among the favorable comparisons. Although a fiction novel in comparison to ?A Million Little Pieces? being a memoir, ?Less Than Zero? deals with the same situations of poor little rich boy becoming an addict not because of life on the mean streets, but simply because he has the money to waste. In terms of impact though, it is hard to top ?Nightmares Echo? or ?Basketball Diaries.? Whereas, it in terms of an addictive reading experience it is hard to top ?My Fractured Life? and ?Running With Scissors?. In all cases, ?A Million Little Pieces? deserving belongs among all the aforementioned. It is graphic and impacting and at the same time addictive to read. A gripping journey that will put knots in your stomach.
