A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess

Shazbut 06-21-2007 05:25 AM

I'm fascinated by personality disorders and the fact that they are not recognised in the workplace or as destroyers of most relationships (working or family). For e.g., Schizophrenia is recognised, Narcississtic PD isnt - but it can be as destructive and dangerous as.

Anyway, my point is.. my last two books purchased were about control freaks:

'In Sheeps Clothing' by George K Simon
'Snakes in Suits - when psychopaths go to work' by Paul Babiak and Robert D Hare

i'm reading it now ..

it's very well written but the style is journalistic so it begins to get a bit repetative after a while.

That's what I was afraid of... Is it at least scary in some way?
