Summary: Spoke to My Soul
Review: As a writer, I needed a compassionate account of what obsession with another person was all about without haveing to wade through an academic treatise on the subject. I got just what I was looking for in John D. Moore's book. Thank you John. Also, I notice that this is an iUniverse published book. I am very impressed with the quality of the printing and manufacturing of the book and am already considering going this way with one of my own works. "Confusing Love with Obsession" could have used a better copyediter though as there are quite a number of typos in the book. I'm willing to overlook this just because I am so pleased with the content.

Summary: You'll Never Be the Same Again
Review: I heard about this book from a friend and decided to buy it. Chapter one, the plight of Nancy and her obsessive relationship with her husband Ron kept me glued to the book. Then I started reading the other case studies which dealt with stalking, sexual addiction and controlling and started to cry. My partner uses so many of these control tactics on me and I never thought about how abusive he was being until I got this book. If you read it, be warned - you may never be the same again!

Summary: BOLD AND LIFE CHANGING!
Review: I purchased and read this book a week ago after a painful divorce was finalized. Fast forward to now and here I am in the same situation yet again, falling in love with a different man. I read the book and did not take much to heart, basically because I was in denial. But after picking up the book again and giving serious thought to what Moore presented, I can see how addicted I am to relationships. I also found myself feeling a bit embarrassed as I read this book, because much of what was presented hit a little too closee to home. Looking back on my marriage, I behaved just like some of the people in the case studies did - using food to manipulate my ex-husband into gaining weight. I also broke into his computer and deleted emails and tried to cause trouble for him. Why? Because I was obsessed with my ex husband and addicted to our marriage. I have now been motivated to join a support group and get help from a therapist. As for my new relationship, I am putting that on ice until I begin to heal. If you decide to buy this book, be prepared for some moments where you might cry. This is perhaps one of the best books I have ever read, because Moore writes with compassion and shows how relational dependency effects both WOMEN AND MEN!It will change your life!

Summary: Spoke to My Soul
Review: I read Moore's book and was very impressed with each of the case studies. In some way, each person's story spoke to my own situation in a controlling relationship. There were many times that I had to put the book aside because it hurt too much to keep reading. As I kept turning the pages, I saw all of the patterns in my own life and then the lightbulb went off and I thought, "That's me!" If you are in a controlling relationship or are obsessed with someone else, you have to get this book. It will change your life forever.

Summary: For Men Too!
Review: People often think that only women become obsessed with someone. It's good to see that someone has written a book for both women and men about the very real problem of obsessive, controlling relationships. John Moore's book cuts through all of the psychological mumbo jumbo and gets right to the heart of why a person becomes so obsessed with a love interest that stalking is the result. Thank you Mr. Moore for offering us all a book that is sure to become a classic.

Summary: A book to be treasured forever
Review: This book is something that I will always treasure. It came into my life during a period of darkness and depression. The case studies helped me to see that I was not alone and that I was not the only person going through an obsession. I felt like I was right there with the people presented in the book, be it at the gym or in a car or whatever. I am slowly starting to heal from my addiction to relationships. Whenever I feel alone, I have a new resource to turn to for comport and support. Confusing Love with Obsession is a compassionately written book that will bring light into your life. John Moore is right when he says, "Being in love should not mean living in agony".
