Sociopath: a Memoir by Patric Gagne

I will not be rating this book as I have too many mixed emotions. I believe that the author believes herself to be a sociopath however, in my totally unprofessional opinion, I think she actually falls somewhere on the autism spectrum. After reading some reviews, I’m not the only one with this theory. It’s an interesting study in the power of labels and how humans desperately want to understand our own selves and our inner world.

Intriguing premise for a novel. Enjoyed that it had slight science fiction elements but was almost completely set in the real world

Would have enjoyed this much more as a fast paced 300 page book rather than a slow 600 page book
