Sleeping with a Psychopath by Carolyn Woods is a sad and tragic true crime tale.
I should say that this wasn't exactly what I was expecting. Although Mark Aklom is a despicable excuse for a human being he is not what springs to my mind when I consider a Psychopath. He is , to me, a con man through and through. Nothing more.
What a terrible experience the author went through. I think it would be easy reading this to believe you wouldn't get duped, that you wouldn't fall for his amazingly far fetched and fantastical stories but many were and I think may be again in the future. The timing of this book is particularly spy as his release from prison is imminent, I intend to keep an eye out for future stories in the news of this despicable, pathetic excuse for a man. This is a tragic but cautionary tale which made me angry and frustrated to read but also I feel so bad that the author experienced this. I definitely recommend this book!
