Laurent Cousineau's "The Angel of Death Origins: OCD, Bullying, and Questioning Reality" delves into the fictional realm, mirroring the author's own life and challenges. Through the narrative, Cousineau shares his personal struggles, including a past marked by bullying and mistreatment during high school. The abuse, stemming from his athletic performances, accent, and other perceived irritations, left lasting emotional scars, leading to the development of depression and anxiety. The book serves as a platform for the author to convey how he faced and coped with these internal demons.

The book is told from the first-person perspective of the sufferer in an easy-to-understand manner, such that I could relate easily to the narrator’s predicament and his undying passion to get things around him done the right way. As the book narrates the experiential peculiarities of life after abusive entanglements, I could connect to the underlying reasons why some people in my everyday life have bad attitudes. I love the openness of the author and how real casualties struggle to balance emotionally and avoid affecting their environment. The book also includes Laurent’s stance against inordinate trends in climate change as a global problem.

The fact that the book presents the events and life huddles as a reflection of the author’s life experience gives me some emotions while reading the book. It also adds an element of authenticity to the book. Also, I was able to get immersed in the world of typical sufferers of obsessive-compulsive disorder and existential crises. I hope this knowledge enables me to understand how life happens to them and learn how to deal with them in love, just like how the narrator testified about his mother during his obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I have nothing to dislike in this book, as the narrative is easy to go along with and understand. It proves to be both educational and entertaining as well. The complex psychological terms are explained in very simple terms. I found no grammar errors either. Hence, I will rate the book 5 out of 5 stars. I'll recommend the book to an audience that would love to learn about the peculiarities of PTSD, OCD, anxiety, and other consequences of lingering emotional scars.
