I would have considered it for the same reason, but I have yet to see any such reviews. Until I do, I won't be reading it.
Just read it if you are curious. Why ask a tons of strangers about it then go by their "hatred" for it. Stop being a sheep. No one will like you less if you read it. Many don't seem to like you at all.
I'm sorry, that was mean. I should say just read it and then keep the read to yourself so you can keep your street cred.
I found an Amazon review of the book written by someone claiming to be a retired psychologist. 
---------------------------------
At least she is coming out to all but her family. This is written as a confessional/memoir of its author Monica E. Thomas,a pseudonym, necessitated by the subject matter and to protect her present socioeconomic life.
Having just read the reviews written before mine, it would seem I am the first to have actually read the entire book, well, at least, so far.
I would agree with the other reviewers that the book is technically well written, but does get long in the tooth by the half way mark, with many points being repeated several times which lengthened the book with no apparent advantage that I could ascertain; otherwise I would have given 4 stars.
I would agree that the author as self described is unlikeable, but whom I found very interesting simply because I am a retired psychologist and spent the last ten years working with female murderers. The author goes into some detail in trying to distinguish psychopaths, sociopaths, and person with anti-social personality disorder; but for the majority of the world these distinctions are exercises in semantics only. To help clarify this point, as the author takes some time discussing her rational for the distinction. A psychiatrist, Hervey Clecky wrote the magnum opus on psychopathology in 1941 in a book called MASK OF SANITY; he might be better known to you for his book on multiple personality disorder which was turned into a movie in 1957 called THE THREE FACES OF EVE. A Dr. Robert Hare building upon Clecky's work devised a 20 question scale to judge antisocial personality disorder. He only used convicts to base his results on, so it is not representative of the general population and certainly doesn't have the background of the MMPI. Hare felt that there were differences between people who committed violent and aggressive act and those who did not. He felt that the aggressive ones should be considered to have ASPD and the others would simply be called sociopaths. The term psychopaths had fallen out of favor. However, much of the world still considered all three terms to be interchangeable, and if you look up psycho/sociopath in the APA Dictionary it will refer you to Antisocial Personality Disorder. The author particularly chose to make this distinction to differentiate her disorder from those with the more severe form. Basically the author feels that being diagnosed as a sociopath doesn't mean you are bad, but simply that you don't act in socially approved manner unless it benefits the actor.
At one point the author describes her entire dysfunctional family and wonders if she might have turned out differently if raised in a different environment. You know, the argument of nature versus nurture.
As others have also commented on the author's attitudes about life let me quote a few passages so you can listen to her words, not mine. I have given the page numbers after each quote, but want to state this is from an uncorrected proof copy, so that the page numbers may be different in the final edition.
1. "I have never had an insecurity." p103
2. "I liked to play with boys as a child. They rarely tattled about injuries...I didn't understand why anyone would choose to hold baby dolls over making war with army soldiers." p108
3. "Risk taking, aggression, and a lack of concern for your own health or that of others are all symptoms of sociopathy." p109
4. "The reality is that I have nothing of what people refer to as conscience or remorse." p134
5. "If I behaved improperly according to societal standards, it was arguably only because I didn't show the least bit of remorse." p147
6. "Despite my laziness and general disinterest, I actually was a great lawyer when I was trying." p170
7. "I can get angry in a flash, but it is over in a flash...no one is holding grudges." p179
The author describes all manner of narcissism, lack of control, grandiosity, egocentricism, using other people without remorse and then claims she is not so bad, as she graduated from law school near the top of her class, then practiced for several years and now teaches in a law school, claiming her students all adore and respect her. Yet she admits she got fired from her law practice jobs, and worked her way to the top by seducing both male and female senior partners, again without regret. I find her very interesting, but I am not sure I would want to be stranded on a desert island with her, with a limited food supply and her having a weapon. :) Oh yeah, she said the one of her students during a teacher evaluation described her as a stone cold fox. She did say that might have been a SLIGHT exaggeration. :-) I am not sure the average person can relate favorably to such candid comments made by the author.
