Made or born??
Psychopaths, are they made by society or are they born that way?? "Jacob" is full of all the questions we are asking ourselves today every time we read the headlines or turn on CNN. It IS a novel, but it will make you question bullying, your parenting skills and your knowledge of your own children. I am using it in my book club and passing it along to all my friends.
