Summary: A Snow Job, An Invitation To Fear
Comment: This book is the worst kind of fear-mongering. The author sensationalizes a complex subject, using anecdotal evidence from specific cases to generalize to some horrible conclusions.
One such conclusion, blatantly irresponsible, is illustrated in bald statements such as found on page 196--
"Stalking only stops defintely and permanently when the stalker dies" and victims "are still forced to look over their shoulders for the rest of their lives".
Of all the books available on the subject of stalking, this is the worst. It disempowers the potential victim, mindlessly regurgitating some of the prescriptive recommendations from the Paul E. Mullen book (Stalkers and Their Victims), while couching the entire spectrum of stalking types and behaviors in the same terroristic tactics of sensational "journalism".
If you suspect that you are a victim or on the verge of becoming a victim of stalking behaviors, skip this book-- it will only provide fuel for your fearful fantasies. Better, read Dr. Doreen Orion's "I Know You Really Love Me" and ponder the different emotional suffering experienced by Dr. Orion and her husband (each of whom were stalked, but each affected differently), or read Gavin de Becker's "The Gift Of Fear" and contemplate the contrast in the two kinds of fear that he describes in his book-- fear that is real and of immediate danger, and the invented, socialized fear implanted by imagination and media (such as this Snow Job).
