Timeless page turner. The author seamlessly blends seemingly incompatible genres into one masterpiece. The mania section reads like a thriller, while there's a passage on erotomania for those looking for romance. Pyromania evoking horror and schizotypal disorder giving a science fiction vibe, there's plenty for every type of reader. The fifth edition hasn't been out for long but you bet it'll be a classic soon enough.
