Best-Selling Memoir Draws Scrutiny - New York Times

Cheesh, what is it these days with the reports of authors "embellishing" their life stories?  Here's still another one:  The author of the best-selling memoir A Million Little Pieces stands accused of having fabricated or "wildly embellished" some of the accounts in his book.

But on Mr. Frey's own site, bigjimindustries.com, one fan who identified herself as Julie wrote: "Even if his story is fake, he opened up the eyes of so many people. How about if we all focus on that instead of accusing him of being a liar?"

And yet traditionalists get offended when some Christians can't accept the Gospel of John as an unbiased, completely-reliable factual account.
