Book Review — Sociopath A Memoir by Patric Gagne

Book Review!

Sociopath – A Memoir by Patric Gagne.

Releasing 11th April 2024.

BLURB:

” ‘Your friends would probably describe me as nice. But guess what? I can’t stand your friends. I’m a liar. I’m a thief. I’m highly manipulative. I don’t care what other people think. I’m capable of almost anything.’

A Memoir is at once a mesmerizing tale of a life lived on the edge of the law, a redemptive love story and a moving account of one woman’s battle to create a place for herself and a deeper understanding of people who, like her, are sociopaths. Ever since she was a small child, Patric Gagne knew she was different. Although she felt intense love for her family and her best friend, David, these connections were never enough to make her be ‘good’, or to reduce her feelings of apathy and frustration. As she grew older, her behaviour escalated from petty theft through to breaking and entering, stalking, and worse. As an adult, Patric realized that she was a sociopath. “

Review:

5/5 ⭐️

I have always been interested in the human psyche; trying to understand what makes a person tick. So when the opportunity arose to review this book, I couldn’t pass it up. It immediately intrigued me. Patric’s memoir was so insightful and incredibly interesting. You’re taken on a journey throughout Patric’s childhood and onwards, learning about her sociopathy along with her. The fact she was able to understand it to some extent from such a young age astounds me. Her memoir was refreshingly honest about her life as a sociopath, about her traits, and about the things she needed to do in order to ease the pressure she felt from not *feeling* in order to feel *something*. A wonderful read that just makes me want to know more.
