Sociopath: A Memoir

I personally loved the book. Patric is a good writer and I could vividly picture what she wrote. Not a sociopath but I felt there was instances in the book where I was able to relate. Only a sociopath knows how it’s like to be a sociopath therefore I’m not going to question whether she is or isn’t.

I was really interested in the subject matter but quite honestly I was bored to tears reading this one. I put it down and picked it up several times and just never connected with the author at all. I didn't care about her story and I felt like she was so arrogant and privileged. If this wasn't a pick for bookclub I probably wouldn't have finished.

Skimmed. Not interesting, not interested.

Writing a memoir and a personal experience is always hard to judge but based on the fact that the author uses their self diagnose to declare they are a sociopath, gives the reader an intention that this book might give insight from a hyper aware mental state. Quite a few times, I almost DNF. I dont think anyone is going to read this and find any answers or a different perspective on sociopaths. I also think that quite a few times in this book, I perhaps think a second diagnosis could be needed.

Patric is the dullest sociopath ever. Introspective navel gazing, a genre that seems to be becoming increasingly popular. I didn’t care what happened to her, I felt no empathy. Maybe I’m a sociopath too.
