The sex and hunger bit reminds me so strongly of Garth Marenghi.

I read it with the cadence of Kronk describing "the poison to kill Kuzco," lmao

Ok, serious comment this time: thanks for the review, it was a lot of fun to read.

Why is Frey getting so much attention with this book? I actually read Millions Little Pieces, after the scandal, just because. It was the biggest pile of obvious phony baloney nonsense since Go Ask Alice. His career should have been dead. Bad book, fake biography, Oprah calls for his head. Done.

And that was that. I never heard of him again until now. So what is it about this book that brought him back?

I think the only real reason is that he disclosed using AI in his process like over a year before its release, so there’s been a media drumroll based off of a combination of that and also how incredibly insufferable the man is.

Simple, they figured it would make money. Whether it's any good or not is irrelevant.

"Autofiction is the mode of our times now; maybe he just got in too early."

Had his crappy book been marketed honestly as fiction it would have gone nowhere.

Love to see a ripe critical panning! It’s sadly rare in the book world (wherein criticism generally withers year-on-year).

What a game it has been to dunk on this hideously written piece of shit by this hideously entitled piece of shit. Excellent work, richly deserved touchoff of a contempt avalanche, and may Frey die screaming when he goes.
