I normally strongly dislike when a thriller leans heavily on diagnosis like antisocial personality disorder, but because the psychopaths in this book were largely the protagonists it felt fresh and less biased. 

It made me realize how vulnerable a person could be if they lacked much sense of danger and ability to interpret emotion in a situation with a lot of bad actors. 

It also made it really hard to predict twists! I enjoyed myself. Darkly funny. 

But a lot of it did still feel like a made up version of psychology.
