This book was very captivating. It held my interest throughout, from the fascinating case studies about real people who hoard BIG time to the insightful dissections provided by the authors about why people hoard. While it was frightening to see myself, or at least some of my thought processes, reflected in a lot of the people highlighted I also really came to appreciate what an agonizing ordeal hoarding must be for both those who suffer from it and those who attempt to treat it. Written to be extremely accessible, the authors have made this a very enjoyable read, and one from which we can all learn something.
