Other People's Things

New Wrinkle On Oft-Derided Issue. I don't suffer from kleptomania myself, but as someone who is Autistic and is interested in unique takes on various issues society deems “mental disorders”, I always appreciate books that can take a topic that is often derided and make it much more “human” and much less “other”. Here, King does just this, and she does it in a whimsical manner that has its share of tragedy as well. An excellent book that rarely takes the “conventional” route, and yet tells the story of how one person's “mental disorder” can actually work to be a very positive thing when the person learns to truly harness her power.. Very much recommended.
