Query: Disappointed.

Evans' other books, "The Verbally Abusive Relationship" and "Verbal Abuse, Survivors Speak Out" were excellent - I can't recommend them enough. I was quite disappointed with this book. The explanations of why controlling people are the way they are could have been conveyed in half the amount of pages used. The writing was amateurish and redundant, which really surprised me coming from Evans. I felt like she was writing for a grade school audience here, nearly talking down to the reader.
