This book makes me feel so itchy, but I can't put it down. Finished reading within 1 day. Amazing!

A very interesting and academic look at compulsive hoarding. Never felt exploitative or belittling. The author did a great job of objectively presenting the cases while also showing a deep compassion to those suffering with this illness.

Quite a remarkable book, with fascinating cases studies. The book soon starts with one, Irene, who is "extraordinarily articulate and insightful" who attended grauate school for library science!!!! "She had no problem categorizing, cataloging, and organizing library materials, as long as they did not belong to her." (p. 39).

Adult nonfiction. Like a really long episode of "hoarders" but with extended commercial breaks full of psycho-analysis.
