pastor with the rent boy!

This is book is written by the guy that hired that foppish rent boy to give him nude massages. The author is hysterically anti- homosexual. I like the rent boy thing. There are probably people that still think that this guy is not gay. Incredible. The guy with the rent boy who hates gays! Alright! Kick ass!

A good examination of motivation in deviant human behavior

The book's best feature was its clear description of how past experiences can help shape a person's future actions and reactions to situations. The book also asks the reader many important questions in order to facilitate thought. Complex behavorial concepts related to Susan Smith's life were made exceptionally clear. This book was so good I read it in one evening! I wish more pictures of Miss Smith were included.
