really liked it

One of the scariest books I've read in a long time - but defintely worth the time. It is sad that our society chooses to turn its back on the mentally ill. Though some are criminals, many are not - they are wanderers that cannot get the help they need because they lack the ability to do it for themselves, their families cannot, or because the facilities don't exist. Those that have committed crimes may have done so because the legal and political systems were not (and still aren't) in place to provide the care that might have prevented the incident in the first place.
