A Million Little Pieces a famous book by James Frey, came on the Oprah's Book Club list, so it must be really good, and when you look at its genre it turns out to be a narrative. OK so now you must be saying that this guy must write about a book of on of his precious or unforgettable moment. You do a little bit of a research on the book and you go to this one site and it tells you that James Frey had lied in about the events in his life. You stop for a minute and think if he lied then this book is no that good, and you decide not to buy or borrow the book.
If you are one of those people that do what what the person above just did the I must say please stop reading books, I know its harsh but seriously why would you get rid of a book just because it doesn't fit its genre, doesn't mean that it is a bad book. If you want a pure Narrative then just go read a biography on the person. Books is like a movie, it has three purpose, to entertain, persuade, and inform, and just because the book is a narrative doesn't mean that the book will be completely the truth, it's like your being racist angainst BOOKS.
