Being a psychology student, it was interesting to see the right information about the anatomical brain structures, DNA and environment. I'd appreciate if antisocial personality disorder wouldn't be used interchangeably with psychopathy as both have many similarities but they aren't precisely the same thing / synonyns. 
I wasn't bored with the main character's teenage stuff. But I definitely looked forward to Rosa's logic and her perspective and how she twists everything to suit her. But I understand that although the book is titled as MY sister Rosa, it is still about Che, as he's the narrator of his own story and how he deals with his psychopathic sister.
It was exhilarated by the end of this book and just couldn't keep the book down.
