Review of The Bogeyman: Stalking and Its Aftermath (Paperback)

This book is divided into two parts, chapter by chapter. The first section that of the author's narrative on her own personal stalking experience, and then well researched information on how to recognize and deal with stalkers. The second part contains important information purveyed in a semi-academic fashion. The author's personal narrative, however horrifying - is written in a 'cutesy' tone, with explanation points throughout and comments to herself such as 'I'll get you my pretty and your little dog too'. In addition throughout the narrative, the author finds it necessary to put in brackets what SONG the reader should be humming to any particular part of her tale i.e. ('hum along with Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole's 'When I Fall in Love''). The writing is in effect terrible and cliche ridden with bad attempts at humour. A clever writer might have been able to pull off some dark humour in even so grim a tale, but Dr. Meinberg is not that writer. This is not a good book.

Product Description
The Bogeyman represents the author's personal history as it pertains to stalking experiences and related information. This encapsulated version condenses forty years of stalking experiences into a mere ten chapters. Dr. Sherry L. Meinberg honed her survival skills long before any research, facts, and figures were considered, and before the word stalking was coined. She learned everything the hard way--without books, advice, or professionals, to guide her--through firsthand experience alone. Alongside her personal saga, the book presents added material, listing expert opinions, information, and resources, serving as supportive and reinforcing background for her experiences. Research now tells us that one in twelve women in the USA, and a growing number of men, will be stalked at sometime in their lives. Over one and a half million adults are stalked annually, with the vast majority of victims being the average, normal, everyday citizen. Could one of your family members or friends become a victim? Could you? Find out what to expect, and how to protect yourself and loved ones. Take action!
