Victims and Sinners: Spiritual Roots of Addiction and Recovery

Rating:
Summary: The real victim is the reader!
Review: There is no way to tell if this book is any good because it is written with such complicated language that it is incomprehensible. We would be greatly served by Dr. Mercadante if she were to write on the same topic in language that at least a college graduate could understand. I couldn't help wondering whom Dr. Mercadante was trying to impress in choosing her words; I say this because the book is advertised for everyone, including the layman. Unless you want to spend weeks in your dictionary (and it had better be a good one) in an attempt to understand this book, I suggest you pass. On the other hand, anyone with a strong education in theology may appreciate whatever it is that this book is saying.
