Bloggers Gang Up On Frey

James Frey is being attacked online over charges that his best-selling memoir is full of fraud. “On the message boards at Oprah.com (where the book is highly publicized and promoted as the most recent pick of the talk show queen’s popular book club), sentiments were largely of anger, betrayal and confusion. While some who joined the fray supported Frey claiming, as one did, that “true or untrue, [the book] is a great read.” Others called the author a “fraud” and a “liar” who presented fiction as fact for personal and financial gain.”
