Amazing follow up - By: Dsr Wilson, 14 Aug 2008 
Even better than A Million Little Pieces. I read them back to back, & amin awe of Mr Frey. He is without doubt a major talent, with an ability to engage the reader completely. I look forward to reading his future work.
GET IT AND YOU'LL LOVE IT!! - By: Gemma Brinkley, 18 Mar 2008 
This is an emotional,follow on book from 'A Million Little Pieces' I personally didnt thnk anything could top that book, but James Frey surely compelled mein both books. His journey is a emotional rollercoaster through his timein rehab, his experience'sin life & the people he meets along the way. 'My Friend Leonard' focuses on a friendship with Man James Frey meetsin rehab & how he impacts his life.
THIS IS A MUST READ!! as is 'A Million Little Pieces'.Anyone & everyone who loves honesty & integrity will love this book!!!
Who cares if some of it's embelished - By: J. I. Burgoyne, 19 Feb 2008 
I have to say I love the stylein which James Frey writes his novels it is so refreshing & keeps you hooked from start to finish. The ending of this book is not expected but all the same brilliant. After reading a Million Little Pieces I was wary of reading this incase it did not live up to the first novel but I was not dissapointed at all & would reccomend it to anyone. Two thumbs up!!
a nice surprise - By: Mez, 01 Aug 2007 
I've not read his other book..but I really enjoyed this one... I found his writing very different, which is good. It made me cry (almost twice)... I loved the ending... & missed the book once I had finished it. I would have been happy to carry on reading for a few more tube rides. A lovely book.
A Masterpiece! - By: R. P. Sedgwick, 30 Jun 2007 
I know there is some controversy over James Frey's two books & how much of these so-called first hand accounts of his life are what actually happened.
Frankly I am not bothered. Both books are masterful & very original/inspirational/sad/joyful whether they are fictional, non-fictional or some mixture of the two. Whatever label is attached to the book doesn't alter its content.
My Friend Leonard is a sequel which for once is just as good if not even better than the original. I would strongly recommend reading the booksin order but each is self-contained & may be read without having looked at the other.
Ironically as the two books are about addiction they themselves are very addictive. Do you read them as fast as you can or do you try & savour them & make them last a few days was my dilemma. With both of them I tried the latter & ended up doing the former.
