Summary: The familiar, the chaos and the triumph-- 6 stars
Review: What makes Kraus' book such an excellent book is it's ability to draw the reader into the familiar (establishment of an exciting relationship), the uncomfortable (the first signs of trouble), the tumultuous (complete chaos when the familiar is not what it appears to be), the struggle (the courage of a person fighting to regain their dignity) and the triumph. When I read this book, I remembered another book of a relationship between two people, one from an upper middle class family, the other a beautiful intriguing young woman who turns out to have serious problems. The other book was Walker's Siren's Dance: These are two excellent books talking about such a relationship. Borderline Personality affects 2% of the population. It affects all of the people who love them. Most people have never heard of this disorder. "Borderlines" by Kraus will go a long way to further expose this condition. Kraus' book is an emotional roller-coaster that nails its subject matter. Well done author.
