Review of The Angel of Death Origins
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Angel of Death Origins" by Laurent Cousineau.]
In "The Angel of Death Origins: OCD, Bullying, and Questioning Reality" by Laurent Cousineau, a fictional character was crafted from his traumatic coming-of-age through the protagonist, Laurent Casino. Born into a multicultural family, Laurent faces bullying and ridicule in school due to his accent, name, and athletic abilities, leading to severe mental health struggles, including OCD, PTSD, depression, and anxiety. He grapples with suicidal thoughts, hospitalizations, and a crisis of self-worth, exacerbated by his father's illness. Laurent's journey through the COVID-19 pandemic is marked by his fight against misinformation and his unwavering commitment to climate activism. He grapples with the possibility of taking legal action against those who wronged him, including politicians, media outlets, and the school that failed to intervene.
Laurent's book offers a clear and insightful explanation of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), making it approachable for those unfamiliar with the condition. He explores the various aspects of OCD, its impact on individuals, and its far-reaching consequences. By sharing personal experiences, Laurent sheds light on the challenges faced by people with this condition, fostering empathy and understanding. The book is well-written and informative. The story of Laurent being bullied in school and the lack of intervention from some teachers is a powerful reminder of the importance of creating safe and supportive learning environments for all students.
Reading this book evoked emotions in me since it's based on the author's personal experiences, adding authenticity to the story. I became fully engaged in the world of individuals struggling with obsessive-compulsive disorder and existential crises, gaining a deeper understanding of their challenges. I hope this newfound understanding will enable me to approach them with love and compassion, just as the narrator's mother did during his struggles. There was nothing to dislike or criticize in the book.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book, finding it easy to follow and understand, with no flaws or grammatical errors. It gets a 5 out of 5 stars. The author expertly explains complex psychological concepts in simple terms, making it both educational and engaging. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about PTSD, OCD, anxiety, and the lasting impact of emotional trauma.
