A Million Little Pieces

**Hi-Po** · 03-08-2006, 08:58 PM

Alright, who has read the book "A Million Little Peices"? If so what did you think of it? I read it in 2 sitting's. the second day i read it i read for a little over 9 hours. 435 page book i finished in 2 days. That not like me, for one i dont read a whole lot. Exception's being car magazines, wiring diagrams, and hydrualic diagrams. See BillyT? i actually do have a hint of something else in me besides just drinking beer.

Its about a guy who overcame a SERIOUS drug addition, very interesting.This book has been in Opera's book club and all over CNN , news, Daily show, etc. What do ya think?

Edit: whats your Favorite book? I enjoy books like the one stated above. true stories about stuff, preferably drug addiction or something interesting to read. I dont mind a good horror book ethier. Any ideas?

damn dude, 9 hours? i actually do enjoy reading, just havnt had much time for it lately. 9 hours tho is nuts. the most ive even read in a single sitting was probably like 6 or 7 hours.

my favorite book? that would be dreamcatcher, they made it into a crappy movie but the book IMO was very good

**Hi-Po** · 03-08-2006, 09:11 PM

yes i know, 9 hours is absoluting insane. but dude, it was such a fucking good book i could not put it down. i had to see what happened next.

I don't have time to read, simply because I do it just like you did. Once it gets me it gets me and I can't put it down until it's done. If I try to do anything else I can't concentrate on it cause I just wanna get back and finish the book. I wish I could break that habit because I really do enjoy reading. Things like you starting this thread bring books to my attention and really make me wanna go pick em up to see what it's all about. Give me a rundown on it, I might just go pick it up

Dean Koontz is my favorite. I also enjoy John Saul, Robin Cook, VC Andrews, Anne Rice, there's more too, will think of them later.

it's a good book, you should read the second book called My Friend Lenord. It picks up after he left rehab. The Author, James Frey, admitted that he lied in the books. I still enjoyed the books. I read both of them in three days.

the author was on oprah and admitted he lied and exxagerated a lot in that book. it was 90% bullshit, i too started reading it and loved it until i saw him on oprah and she confronted him and he admitted it was a lot of made up stuff, like the ending was all made up.

Hey BIGRED Z, what's your fav Koontz book ? mine is twilight eyes

**besz28** · 03-09-2006, 05:38 PM

major parts of this book were a fake,the shocking ending was all made up. the main reason this book was incredible was because DAM THIS GUY WENT THREW ALL THIS, when really he really didn't. it was some addict who wrote a really exxagerated book and made a lot of money. when you started reading this book it was because you thought it was real......nope.

**ss~zoso~ss** · 03-09-2006, 05:47 PM

did opera tell you to read it lol j/k

**SoCalTom** · 03-09-2006, 07:43 PM

My wife is reading the book right now and loves it! She tells me I have to read it next. My favorite book is The Autobiography of Malcom X. Great book!

That was a great one!

Lightning, the Bad Place, the Odd Thomas series, it's hard to choose. They are all so different in so many ways. The Bad Place is a fav because my kid brother has Down Syndrome. Lightning was just an awesome story. I liked Watchers too. Too bad the movie totally sucked.

Did you know he wrote under several other names including Lee Nichols, Owen West...I'm pretty sure all the tiltles released under the other names have been reprinted under the Koontz name though.

Wrong, he exxagerated the part of rullin over a cop. He actually ran a curb and had the intection of smoking all the crack he had. the arrests made in Michigan, ohion and ? where totally true. They were researched by that fag frat boy and turned up true.

How could a Koontz fan not have mentioned Watchers yet? That is my favorite book of all time. Twilight Eyes is my second favorite one though.

1. Watchers
2. Twilight Eyes
3. Whispers
4. Lightning

I did mention Watchers. Look again. It was an awesome one! Ooooo and I forgot whispers, that was a freaky one! Ugh roaches! There are very few that aren't awesome. Phantoms was probably the one I was least impressed with. Mr. Murder was so-so on the first read, but I liked better the 2nd time around.

I really don't have one single book as a favorite, but I just finished a great read: Wildwood Boys by James Carlos Blake. It is a novel based on the life of Bloody Bill Anderson. Talk about badassess, and most of these guys were just kids... If you have ever seen the movie Ride with the devil and liked it you will like the book.
