Sickened: The Memoir of a Munchausen by Proxy Childhood by Julie Gregory
Sickened downplays the often lethal and horrific effects of Munchausen by proxy.
Gregory's memoir is poorly written and lacks the ability to draw in the audience. Her tragic life story has the potential to enthrall but her writing does not captivate. It is quite dry and lacks passion.
Her writing is vague, scrambled and boring which does little to draw attention to this horrific disorder.
The book is not informative and if you don't have prior knowledge of Munchausen you have the potential to get lost and not understand the severity of this disorder.
Take a pass on this book.
Grade: D-
