I find it very obnoxious when people present problems with obvious solutions, dismiss the solution, and continue complaining about the problem.
This was so much fun. It gets shelved as 'horror' a lot, but I'd almost consider this more of a thriller/comedy crossover. I dunno, it's a tough one to categorize but an easy one to rate. Dr. Harper's internal monologue is hilarious and the mysteries in each short story kept me super engaged. I was also relieved to see that the treatment of actual mental illness wasn't nearly as dramatized as I worried it would be based on the theme of the book. In fact, there are some really good myth-dispelling moments about some of the more ostracized mental illness sufferers, such as people with DID and BPD. I digress... this was a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to continuing the series!
