Final Book Post

James agrees to take the 12 step program and attend AA meeting near the end of the book. His relationship with Lilly grows. He is really looking better now. He has meetings with a priest meaning that he has taken up religion. The future looks good for James. It seems like he is really going to get better. James is also the author of this book and he was featured on Oprah. Oprah was in love with his book. She was raving about how good it was. She recommended it to all of her followers, but her love for this book came to an abrupt end. It slipped out that he was not completely truthful in his account of his recovery. Oprah changed her mind completely; she hated the book after this new discovery. She was upset that he lied about his account of his time in rehab. I do not understand where the problem is. The man was a drug addict who found himself on a plane with cuts all over his face covered in blood. Obviously, something went wrong in his life that caused him to end up there in the first place. During his stay in rehab he was suffering from withdrawal and he could not have remembered every last detail while puking his brains out. I think Oprah was holding to a standard that he did not belong at. Instead of being criticized I think that he should be congratulated on his progress on the path to recovery. More focus should be on how well he is doing rather than what he did or did not do. I think that is the problem with most people, they cannot see the good in what others have done. Instead they just point out their faults. Nevertheless good job James.
