Frey is a liar

"During these drug-addled Denison days, Frey wrote, "Lying became part of my life. I lied if I needed to lie to get something or get out of something."

"Seems Mr. Frey has quite an imagination. He thinks he's a bit of a desperado. He's making a bunch of crap up."
That's the assessment of David Baer, a former Granville police sergeant... "

Frey's telling of his 3 month stay in prison is laughable! just the single item of Frey sitting in another inmates cell, reading to him, is a joke to anyone who knows anything about prison life. prisoners are NOT allowed to congregate in another inmates cell for ANY length of time, let alone hours-long reading sessions!

i cannot tell you how much i loathe this asshole. he originally peddled his book as fiction, but his current publisher wanted an non-fiction tale, so Frey retooled his book. little old ladies at my library are checking out this book just because of Oprah. what the HELL can a friggin' white bread, middle class octegenarian get out of this book? and Frey calling addiction and alcoholism a "weakness" and not a disease is assinine. his idea of kicking the habit(s) by just "hold(ing) on" gives the wrong message to millions who are really struggling to stay clean. Fuck you, Frey, you motherfuckingsonofabitchbastard! and Oprah...fuck you, too!
