Weirdly Disjointed

This book starts out with a rambling narrative of some mystery book sent to random people, and the search for its origin. Then you find out, and the answer is a big nothing. Jon ultimately takes a class on how to interpret the PCL-R Checklist (THE Psychopath Test), and after this three-day event, seems to fancy himself as an expert in the field. The book took us down yet more digressive paths into the lives of psychopaths (or are they?), and all the while, Jon was akwardly comparing himself to these people, sometimes saying things like, "Well, at least I haven't done anything as bad as the things Charlotte has done." Odd that he would put that in the book, in quotes, unless he was going to slam us later on with a real twister that would make one think twice about giving oneself too much credit for being awesome. This wasn't the only statement like this, so I was really looking forward to the inevitable kicker, lesson, overarching wisdom. Nope. Just awkward. Although I learned some about the unfortunate history of the mental health industry, I honestly could have skipped the whole thing.
