Yup, apparently most of his book was fiction. There's lots of information about the controversy on the Wikipedia page at:

I can. James Frey wrote a really good book. It was mostly truth but he admitted on Oprah that he had embellished in order to make the book more exciting. The problem is weeding out which is truth and which is embellishment. It's good reading regardless and the embellishments are few. I thought Oprah was going to sock him after inviting him on her show to talk about it. She had highly endorsed the book and felt taken in by him when it came out there were parts not entirely true.

Yeah, there was a lot of talk about it a few months ago, most of his book is supposedly lies, made Oprah really mad when she found out.

Nope. But I'll take the 2 points, thank you very much.
