    I read the book even after Oprah ripped him for exaggerating the truth. I couldn't put the book down. Truth or not, any type of addiction I felt this book could hit home about.

    I read this book prior to knowing the author wrote it under fraudulent intentions. It did keep my attention through a long flight and for that I am grateful but later disappointed to be misled into thinking it was nonfiction.
