More About the Author

Carl Elliott prefers to write about himself in the third person in order to give the impression that he is too important to submit his own biography. A native South Carolinian, Elliott teaches bioethics and philosophy at the University of Minnesota and writes occasionally for magazines such as The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly and Slate.com. His estranged younger brother ridicules him periodically at the unfortunate website, www.whitecoatblackhat.com. His attorneys are addressing the situation.

This review is from: The Rules of Insanity: Moral Responsibility and the Mentally Ill Offender (Paperback)

This book was useless. I expected it to be thick and legthy. It was suprisingly thin. Finished it in a couple of hours. It looks like a lot of work went into writing and collaborating it, for that it deserves and honourable mention. I wouldnt reccomend it to the average person. I hope someone come forth with an offer before i pitch it.
