Customer Reviews

a thrilling read-

My opinions on this book are based solely on the book's writing style and plot.I consider this book a work of fiction meant solely to entertain. I don't know why some reviewers ramble on. The author takes us through events that surprise the reader at every corner, and ends her chapters on a suspenseful note which leaves the reader anxious to read on.I find that the plot is excellent in terms of its riveting sequence of events. I found myself involved, trying to figure out the clues along with the characters.For readers who can get past the controversial nature of the book, this is a suspenseful page-turner that keeps you hanging every step of the way.

A page turner indeed

I don't think I could possibly say enough good things about this book. The combination of 2 of my favorite subjects (mystery and obsessive love) in an extremely well developed plot and storyline, intelligent novel made this an instant favorite. Not only will it keep you interested (I read it in just a few hours because I refused to put it down) but you can learn so much from it. You will literally feel smarter when you put the book down after finishing than you did when you first picked it up. That in itself makes it a must read!There will of course be a (very) few, such as the anonymous reviewer that posted a few days ago, that are afraid and intimidated by the presentation of this unique and rare book, and who stalk this poor author, most likely her ex-boyfriend or his friends who bash this book. But those few are people who find little enjoyment in fun and intellectual activities. Most people read People and women love Cosmo.That said, I would whole-heartedly encourage all book lovers to snap this book up ASAP and dig in. But I'm warning you - you won't come up for air until the very last paragraph has been read! I too, am a fan of her gossip column, StarGazing.And if you like Keanu Reeves, you'll have to read her column on a weekly basis.

Engrossing fictional book

This writer in her highly absorbing and comprehensive exposition, attempts to define anti-social dysfunction. Although she also takes into account behaviourist and biologistic explanations of the origin of the disorder (such as frontal-lobe brain disorder and the low Serotonin hypothesis),her main focus is that sociopathy is principally a result of inadequate parenting and poor socialisation. SHe justifies this assertion by quoting statistics which prove that the majority of fearless, aggressive, manipulative impulsive criminals with low I.Q. and little sense of commitment towards jobs, family or others -- (those who are responsible for raising America's crime rate) -- are mainly the result of being brought up in often single-parent households, or else reared by incompetent parents. This leads to delinquency in early youth, as the potential young offender finds no sense of discipline or authority at home, thereby gravitating towards dubious peer groups, such as gangs, who are usually presided upon by older, more mainipulative, though no less intelligent, gangleaders. The author also offers some engrossing insights on the possibility of a genetic component in fluencing psychopathic behaviour,on the hereditability of crime, a topic that has remained highly controversial in criminological circles. Though she denies the existence of a precise gene for 'criminality', thus avoiding the untenable view that criminals consititute a fixed 'type', she writes that genetics do indeed predispose certain individuals towards psychopathic activity. They may, for instance, be more venturesome, more aggressive, more competitive, more egoistic and more impulsive than other children, though these susceptibilities can only develop into criminality due to environmental inputs: - which, as Miss Quintiliano writes, are related to inadequate socialisation and defective parenting styles. The author writes that the same genes, given differing environmental conditioning, can be responsible for breeding either a criminal psychopath or a zealous crime-fighter, and she substantiates this claim by quoting a number of 3 percent. A very well thought out book on this psychopathic behavior. This is a very controversial subject that some people believe that prevention is far better than the cure, and it calls for much needed tax-payer funding for licensed 'parenters' to become the wards of parentless or potentially delinquent children. Otherwise, the majority of psychopathic personalities are incurable, and the only solution would be 'biological-prophylactic' legislation.

I can't stop laughing it is Great!

I am so amazed with this book. It is a wonderfully humorous look at today's publishing world. The author must have a great sense of wit and humor to write such a witty book in order to prove a point. She combines , a unique concept of writing ability, and writes a book that points a finger in the face of people in the publishing world.She makes a remarkable criticism of today's publishing world by satirizing it in this humourous piece of literature. I give this 5 stars plus. No one would write such a witty book unless they were trying to prove a point: it takes ability and creativity to get the point across. All it takes is a money and some influential Hollywood friends, political ties, and a billionaire backing you up to make a bestseller like this. Controversy really sells. I wouldn't be shocked if she persuades J.K. Rowling to write a foreword in her next book.

Kept Me Hooked!!

... Rose Quintiliano has done a great job of describing what it's like to be hooked on a "bad boy". I got completely into the story and could not put this book down. This is a good description of what its like to be in the throes of sexual and love obsession for a man who is seductive, great in bed, but emotionally unavailable and abusive. I also think Rose did a good job of telling the story from the man's perspective as well. [...]. Bravo to Rose for trying to get into the head of a narcissistic abusive man and tell us what it feels like to be him and why he makes the choices he does.
