I don't care that the book is classified as non-fiction. As I said most autobiographies are embellished so I don't care about that. It's the fact that he outright denied that there were exaggerations and lies in the book until he was trapped in a corner and forced to tell the truth. And I'm not letting Oprah off the hook on this either. Yes, she was duped, but the way she made things "right" was to get the guy back on her show and lambast him to make sure people would think twice before lying to her. Again, a book that promotes a good message like A Millions Little Pieces is great, but don't try to sell it as the truth if most of the book is embellished or pure fabrication. People would still accept the story if they knew it to be an embellishment of the facts from the beginning.
