Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

...work of fiction. But it's a lousy attempt to pull the wool over the reader's eyes; it's unethical and almost unforgivable that neither the author nor publisher have admitted to the book's fictional status, as of October 2003. As a fictional account, the book carries many of the expected traits - child abuse, fatal illness, family strife, all of which are fine in their fictional surrounding. The problem comes from the fact the book is sold as an autobiography, a memoir, a journal. It's none of these; it's a work of pure fiction, with not a single word of truth in the entire sordid journey. We the public are more than happy to read both fictional tales and autobiographical volumes, but we do at least deserve to be treated with respect; this is sadly lacking when a fictional author releases a fictional tale which is then poorly disguised as a true-to-life memoir. Read it if you want to peruse a "what might have happened to someone, at some point, somewhere along the line" tale. But don't believe that it's a true account - it simply isn't.
