Review:I had no idea what to expect with this book - I got it as I was tired of reading fiction. Really interesting. It put a lot into perspective about the safety protocols at hospitals that have been put in place in just the last decade. Read more

Review:This thing is awesome! Really fun to flip through and get practical tips on real life situations. As a father of a lot of boys, this is a great discussion piece and a resource for me to raise boys who have a real idea of how to act like a real man. Read more

Review:This book helps to give you perspective on all the changes your baby is going to go through. It gives reason to the sudden mood changes and promises that they aren't forever. It's not a baby 101 but a really great companion read. Read more

Review:I found the book very well written for the most part. However, and perhaps unsurprisingly, I found the content quite boring and devoid of, well, feeling. I can't help but think that a book written by the victim of a sociopath is always going to be far more interesting than a book by an actual sociopath because the latter is never going to be very good at engaging the reader at an emotional level, especially when the writer's goal is to convey her very nature as a sociopath.

Review:Very well done book on the minds, thinking, patterns and scary sequelae of psychopaths living among us. Very scary and very true. Enough said. You want to know what these monsters are like, look no further than this book.

Review:I am not a scientist; I know very little about science, not much about anything. Since the Nazis stopped me from attending school when I was thirteen years old, I have been trying to educate myself since the libration from a concentration camp. The Baron-Cohen's thesis in THE SCIENCE OF EVIL is that evil is caused by the absence of empathy. The lack of empathy is caused by abnormalities in the empathy circuitry in the brain.

I was captive in camps for three years and 123 members of my ext... Read more

Review:Amazing book! A very informative, interesting, and entertaining (humorous, too) read. In addition to the well-written content, one of the things I loved most was how much the author's passion for the topic showed throughout the entire book. From a technology standpoint, the use of fMRI for forensic neuroscience research was fascinating. This is a great read for anyone interested in criminal psychology, neuroscience, and health technology. Read more

Review:WOW! Awesome book, and keeps you interested from cover to cover... a must read! ok here's my last sentence to get the required amount of words in... (requirement amounts of words have actually kept me from writing more reviews) Read more

Review:I picked up this book because I am quite interested in psychiatry and the development of psychosis.

Unfortunately, for me, ""The Psychopath Test" did not pass my readability test. The pace is meandering, and the cases sited are not as interesting as others in books about Borderline Personality Disorder or Narcissism.

Maybe it's only because it's summer, and I should be looking for beach reads, but Jon Ronson's book just did not hit the spot for me at this time. Read more

Review:Starts off well, but rambles a bit too much away from the intended points. Also gets repetitious at the end, to the point where I wondered if one chapter had been proof-read. An easy, quick read, but I would wait and get it at the local library, rather than purchase (Sorry Amazon) Read more
