‘A Million Little Pieces’ subject of numerous lawsuits

? Maybe James Frey’s sequel will be called “A Million Little Lawsuits.”

Two complaints filed in Manhattan courts Monday took aim at the debunked memoir “A Million Little Pieces,” which was hailed – and later slammed – by Oprah Winfrey.

In a federal class-action suit, readers said the book was a waste of time and they should be reimbursed for the cost of the tome and the hours they spent reading it.

The plaintiffs, Jimmy Floyd and Susan Gardiner, accused publishers Random House and Nan Talese of gross negligence for failing to fact-check Frey’s supposed “brutally honest” account of addiction, including an 87-day jail stint. “All they had to do was call the Department of Corrections to verify that this guy was never in jail,” said attorney Alan Ripka.

Similar lawsuits also have been filed by readers in Chicago, Seattle and Los Angeles.

When it was released in 2003, Frey’s memoir was billed as “an uncommonly genuine account of a life destroyed and a life deconstructed.”

After his Oct. 26, 2005, appearance on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” and the volume’s selection for Oprah’s Book Club, book sales soared to 3 million copies.
