How is it not about what the title suggests? I thought the title wasn't misleading at all.

The Psychopath Test

Wow! The title is quite interesting. Haven't read it but I'm working on my Summer reading list, maybe I'll add this one too.

It's non-fiction? Then I'm doubtful. 😳 I tend not to enjoy non-fiction too much, but if you're saying it's so interesting, I'll definitely give it a try.

Ah, really? Well, this isn't one of the typical non-fiction ones, if that helps ha. In fiction, you should try Perfume by Patrick Suskind, it's the best book I've read in a long long time.

^ I mean generally I'm not a big fan of non-fiction as haven't had all the great experiences with it, but a couple of my most favorite books (Night and The Last Lecture) are non-fiction. So it's not like I'm allergic to them.. lol.. just tend to be careful in selecting which ones to read.

I've added The Psychopath Test & Perfume on my list. Will be downloading those to my Kindle soon.

Yeah, I understand, there's a lot of dry non-fiction out there which reads great because it's so highly polished but it doesn't really say anything. It's just a lot of crap that's been prettied up with nice words.

I hope you like the Psychopath Test but I know that you'll love Perfume haha :)
