Helpful Score: 3

As a mental health professional, the concept of this book was intriguing. Unfortunately, as the title suggests, this book was in fact written by a sociopath and it is readily apparent that the author does not care about his or her audience. Reading this is comparable to reading the DSM, if the DSM had characters. The author included little anecdotes about her life growing up, going to college and law school, and professional career, but then gets away from the story to philosophize about how her sociopathy affected her decisions in various stages of her life. This wouldn't be so bad if the philosophizing didn't significantly outweigh the actual anecdotes about her life. I was easily bored and truth be told could not actually finish this book because of its tediousness and monotony. I received a free copy of this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for an honest review.
