I’m not really seeing a connection between this book and Frey’s other than the cover. I also found this cover. Anyway, I’m not really appreciating the spoof cover or Pinnochio’s and I’m reminded of something I read on Paul Sahre’s site about plagerism vs. influence. (The link is attached to my name.) Surely something more original could have been done.
This is a great cover, spoofing Frey, of a book by an incredibly overlooked writer. I read the book in one sitting. It’s great, and the cover fits it perfectly.

If you read the title story, the cover is absolutely perfect! Opportunistic? Maybe. But perfect nonetheless.
very witty. It makes you want to buy it for all the same reasons as the original and even more because you want to see how different it is…

I didn’t design the cover for my new book, but I think it’s fantastic. Dorothy Carico Smith designs most of the covers for MacAdam Cage, and she does a fantastic job—especially with my books The Locklear Letters and You Poor Monster.

...can’t wait to see the cover where the hand gets crazy glue all on it and it sticks to a kleenex…

A very cool concept! A parody on an existing design, using the same photo & color treatment, new imagery & a total mockary of the original. Only hope the book is as good as its cover. And not, like, derivitive. Like its cover?

I think it’s clever but in a few years the reference will be entirely lost.

Corrections to My Memoirs
A weird bit of opportunism and shrewed salesmanship.
The only connection between this book and A Million Little Pieces, is the title. That, and there’s a short story about “why people lie”.
I have to say that it leaves me a bit flat.
Curious to see how others respond.

I tend to forget this kind of snarky check-out-the-cool-reference-I’m-making stuff 10 minutes or so after I see it.
On the other hand, this earlier allusion to the Frey book is probably the worst thing I saw all last year: http://nytimesbooks.blogspot.com/2006/02/piece-of-cake.html

Million Little Lies at least made me laugh.

I find it witty.

Witty, yes. But also feels kind of cheap.
I like the eraser idea.

I might have designed the first spoof of Rodrigo’s cover:
