My Friend Leonard

So I finished the sequel to A Million Little Pieces. I am unsure as to how much of it is fiction versus reality since all of the controversy was about the first book. Regardless, it is a great read and I liked it even better. Leonard is quite the character and James owes him his life for many reasons. The fact that he turned out to be a gay mobster (like Vito Spatafore in The Sopranos) didn't suprise me. After all, if you read the credits at the end of AMLP, you already know that Lilly commits suicide and that Leonard dies of AIDS. I don't get the impression that Frey thought he would be writing another book. Well things are different in MFL, as not much info is given at the end in terms of his wife Maya and their child. Perhaps a third book is in the making? We shall see.
