This is a great non-fiction book besides Biography books I've ever read. Jon Ronson is a british jurnalist who has strong affections making psychological discussion in his works. I think as a jurnalist he's abit impulsive sometimes, but that's what made this book happened.
This book tells you how he surfaced cases about falsely accused as a patient in Dangerous and Severe Personality Disorder Unit, Broadmoor. It turned out that the patient, Tony, scored the highest point on Bob Hare's Psychopath Checklist. Then, things got crazy.
Jon Ronson flew to see Bob Hare by himself and took Bob's courses. He flew from one mad house to another. It was crazy, he met some people who had commited massive crime and been there because they're psychopath.
And he done the research about psychiatrist and given drugs to patient who's psychopath. And so many things to be told! You have to read it by yourself, because of this book, I realized there's a lot people with mental disorder or personality disorder, How to use the Hare's Checklist, so many things happened between psychiatrist, scientologist, psychopath and this madness industry.
In this book, he also put that psychopath is not only person who commited a crime, but they who worked at Wall Street could be psychopath too, person who once led and ruled or maybe now is a president could be a psychopath.
Psychopath is everywhere, the questions are 'Should we use our humanity feelings towards them?', 'should we cure them?', 'is it possible for them to be cured?' And so ooonn.
Here's a bit about the book :
Interesting, huh? Well, because of this book I tend to seek another book with psychological thing in it recently, I tried to buy 'the minds of billy milligan' which, unfortunately, I need to wait 12-20 days to be imported by periplus. So I've been waiting it to come.
It's disturbingly fascinating to read this book, I'm glad, so glad, I bought this book at Books and Beyond PP without doubtness. Well, if you want a challenging book to read for this month, will definitely recommend this to you.
Happy reading! Me love ya!
