Reviews
"Draws attention to the toll of mental illness on individuals and their families." - Publishers Weekly "Spellbinding. Brilliant. A true-life psychological thriller that captures the ongoing drama of a major mental illness as it unfolds while also recognizing its complexity and majesty." - Edward M. Hallowell, M.D., bestselling author of DRIVEN TO DISTRACTION "Briskly enlightening . . . [Pilon] has woven a plush, often humorous tapestry of board-game and social history." - New York Times Book Review on THE MONOPOLISTS "With more twists and turns than an Agatha Christie mystery, reporter Pilon reveals the tumultuous history of Monopoly . . . More entertaining than the game itself." - starred review, Publishers Weekly on THE MONOPOLISTS "Highly entertaining . . . Like Monopoly itself, the book unfolds in interesting directions, probing into lost Quaker communities, the early history of Atlantic City, and how a game originally invented to critique capitalism became its most diverting simulacrum." - The Boston Globe "[A] fascinating history . . . The Monopolists lucidly weaves together a multifaceted story . . . [It] builds to an intense pitch--while highlighting several fundamental issues of capitalism." - Los Angeles Times "A legal, corporate and intellectual whodunit . . . The tale, like the game, becomes a parable for American capitalism, with powerful players stamping out competitors and fortunes being made or destroyed at the roll of the dice . . . anyone who grew up playing Monopoly will have a hard time resisting The Monopolists. " - Washington Post, "As [ The Kevin Show ] journeys through Hall's illness, it also forces readers to consider the 'sanity' of their own relationship to a media-saturated world . . . Grippingly provocative reading." - Kirkus Reviews "Pilon's compelling portrait of a remarkable young man and the challenges he faces as a cancer survivor, Olympic athlete, and bipolar patient underscores all the difficulties involved, especially in treating mental illness, and offers insights into the effects it has on patients and their families." - Booklist "A captivating narrative that details the many challenges Hall has faced as a result of his disorder . . . Sharp and compelling, this highly entertaining account will reframe the way you see mental health in everyday life." - Bustle "Draws attention to the toll of mental illness on individuals and their families." - Publishers Weekly "Spellbinding.

This book came in a lesser condition than advertised. However, when I contacted them, explained that and sent pics, they quickly refunded my payment, allowing me to just toss the book rather than having to return it. I would recommend that they categorize their books’ conditions more accurately in the future to avoid these kinds of issues for their customers.
