A quick and easy read. There were lots of pictures and the book was notvery text-heavy.It used case studies of three individuals. This was useful as they each had differentaspects of OCD so it really helped me to understand the different ways that it canaffect people. At the end the book talks about the successes of the three casestudies in overcoming OCD, which helped to give reassurance and hope.I enjoyed how the authors made a 'monster' out of OCD. Rather than somethinginvisible, the OCD was a blue monster who spoke - and that really helped meunderstand what cognitive patterns were arising from the OCD.There were comic aspects to the book, as well as general pictures. This made itmore interactive and fun, especially for people who may not enjoy reading.The step-by-step strategies were really useful. It helps people know where to startin terms of overcoming this disorder.
