"She won't stop writing to me - e-mails, letters, text messages, cards. But it's not merely because I hardly know her that I no longer reply. Sometimes her complaints seem so plausible that I wonder if I am not the one to blame. At others, it is the pure flame of her hatred that mesmerizes me - and it is then that I begin to feel afraid." "Unrequited Love" is the story of a London University lecturer's unwilling encounter with the spectre of obsession. Not until he himself fell victim to the charms of a virtual stranger did he begin to understand the psyche of his own hopelessly impassioned admirer. Dating, as Gregory Dart finds, has become a dangerous game. Whatever happened to the good old rules of courtship? Are we all potential stalkers now?

Good book,

This review is from: Unrequited Love: On Stalking and Being Stalked a Tale of Destructive Passion (Hardcover)
A rather interesting look into "stalking and being stalked," I found it refreshing in that it's a nonfiction book that is not an academic work filled with hundreds of sources (as most of the other books in this category are), but, rather, it's essentially a collection of Dart's personal experiences with stalking (he's been on both ends of the spectrum). The book is most successful with the aforementioned personal recollections, and falters a bit when Dart starts to babble about love's definition as defined by 18th century philosophers, but, still, it's a refreshingly easy read for a nonfiction book, and Dart offers a somewhat sympathetic and sensitive look into stalking, and why we do it. A recommendation to most anyone.
