Book Review: Stuff: Compulsive Hoarding and the Meaning of Things by Randy O. Frost and Gail Steketee



Book: Stuff: Compulsive Hoarding and the Meaning of Things by Randy O. Frost and Gail Steketee

About: Frost and Steketee tell the stories of several hoarders, whose homes have become full of items they can't bear to part with.

Pros: Interesting case studies. References in back. Guide to getting help at the end too.

Cons: Reading it didn't really grip me, the stories kind of blended together. No in-text cites. 

Grade: B-/C+
