Outside Reading #2

James is a mess. He is battling many chemical problems, and he has a messed up face. He goes to the dentist to get his teeth fixed and to get a root canal. It seems like there are like three chapters that just focuses on him in the dentist chair getting his teeth fixed. That seems pretty boring, but, here's the catch, he is not allowed any medicine for the pain, the rehab center won't allow it. James goes though a extremely painful procedure, and the book give so much detail that it feels like it is you in the chair instead of James. If there is one thing that I wish I could of skipped over it would have been this. It's not that there were discussing details in the book, it was just that i would not like to be in that painful situation. 

Outside Reading #1

A Million Little Pieces is about a drug addict and alcoholic  who, after many years of jail and drugs, her checked himself into detox and rehab. The book starts with him just about to be checked into rehab. He had fallen on his face, with teeth knocked out, and his face was swollen. 

Not until reading father in the book do you find how bad he has become over the years. He started at a young age and got worse as the years went by. I think the book is really interesting but sometimes hard to read because the author, James Frey, puts a lot of detail into the events that are happening Other than that, I enjoy fallowing the main character as her battles his drug addiction.
