I really loved this book from the beginning to somewhere near the end. I would have given this book a solid five but the ending almost ruined the entire book for me. All throughout the book we are given hints that Joseph Gray has a huge secret. The secret is built up in importance through the entire book. At the end you find this secret has not only been over hyped, but, to put it frankly, is kinda dumb. For me the ending took away an important part of the book. It is definitely worth reading, but don't get your hopes up about a solid ending.
This book considers the various difficulties encountered, with reference to current thinking about the origins, maintenance and treatment of personality disorder.

The book is divided into two sections...
Language gives a snub to borders in a way that is denied to any other human invention. There are no controls or checks to prevent words crossing boundaries, there are no duties to be paid when phrases migrate from one culture to another. In the basic and simplest sense of the phrase, language is a free market.
Within the pages of Faux Pas? the foreign expressions are presented: the familiar and the unfamiliar, the useful and the pretentious. Each entry in this book has been given a phonetic indication of pronunciation.
Each entry has also been given a rating on the so-called – or soi-disant – Pretentiousness Index. For many entries it does not apply at all, either because they are ‘technical’ terms (like in camera or ultra vires) or because they are so well-established in English that using them is about as natural as breathing.
Every entry has been illustrated with an example of actual use, sometimes very recent use. The sources are generally what used to be called the broadsheets (The Times, Guardian, Daily Telegraph and Independent in particular). Quite a few examples have been drawn from fiction as well as sources such as the Spectator magazine.
55 tales of the Grimm brothers published by Blackie & Son Ltd. of Glasgow. There is no publication data in the book but it dates from the early 1960's.
