Perhaps the most unconventional and literally breathtaking father-son story you'll ever read, My Friend Leonard pulls you immediately and deeply into a relationship as unusual as it is inspiring.
The father figure is Leonard, the high-living, recovering coke addict "West Coast Director of a large Italian-American finance firm" (read: mobster) who helped to keep James Frey clean in A Million Little Pieces. The son is, of course, James, damaged perhaps beyond repair by years of crack and a... (show more)

Even better than A Million Little Pieces. Love Frey's writing style, short sharp chapters keep the pages turning. I found it engaging, engrossing and endlessly amazing. So beautiful and uplifting yet sad at the same time. Would defo recommend even if you havn't read the first.
This book was good but I didn't get into it near as much as I did A Milion Little Pieces. But you can't help but read it if you loved the first. YOu get connected w/ the characters.
This was an enjoyable read but I did find it quite implausible and really how many extravagant meals can one mafia boss lavish on the narrator in one book? It wasn't as good as A Million Little Pieces as there was less of a story to tell but I still did find it moving in places, continued to like the writing style and it was an easy good read.
Completely implausible even before we knew JF was full of it, I still love his writing style and completely enjoyed this book. I never submitted for the refund offered by the publisher because I felt like I got my money's worth from this book.
This is one of my favourite ever books (the sequel to A Million Little Pieces). It might even knock Written On The Body off the top spot.
This was a quick easy read and follow-up to A million little pieces. I really like "leonard" so I enjoyed the story.
This book was a nice ending to "A million little pieces". Frey's writing style makes it hard to put the book down. Tells a heartwarming story of a unique father-son relationship.
I enjoyed this book, the ending didn't surprise me though. Good read, I would definitely recommend it if you read, "A Million Little Pieces," to follow up with this.
just as great as "A Million Little Pieces". loved this book. definitely gives closure to the prequel.
While this book was more of the same old frenetic first person narrative, I stuck with it because truly, this book was about Leonard, who I love.

Plum Spookyby Janet EvanovichTurn on all the lights and check under your bed. Things are about to get spooky in Trenton, New Jersey. According to legend, the Jersey Devil prowls the Pine Barrens and soars above the treetops in the dark of night. As eerie as this might seem, there are things in the Barrens that are even more frightening and dangerous. And there are monkeys. Lots of monkeys. more |
