The book, Deceit, by Vernon Baumrind is based on the true story of his own life. The author delved into detail about his marriage and how his wife, Linda, betrayed him. He learned that his wife was having an affair with her gynecologist. The author wrote this book as a way to share his unique situation with readers. He also detailed how he utilized wiretap technology to record conversations between his wife and her gynecologist when they were together during the affair.

Overall, I enjoyed this book. I thought that the author wrote the book beautifully, and I could feel the emotions he was experiencing through the words he used. I found myself being completely shocked and saddened by the actions of his wife during her affair. I also enjoyed reading about how Vernon’s story developed throughout the book. The events that he went through were extremely challenging, but he showed extreme bravery and courage when he fought for what he wanted.

There was nothing that I did not like about the book. I was completely intrigued by the entire plot of the book, and I found it difficult to put down. I also did not find any typos or grammatical errors while I was reading. This is a testament to the exceptional editing that was completed prior to publication.

I would rate this book five out of five stars for the reasons that I stated above. I thought this book was very well-written, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It is very unfortunate what happened to the author, but I enjoyed reading about the strength he showed during his difficult times.

I would recommend this book to adult readers, and any readers interested in nonfiction books. This book contained lots of mature content throughout, such as using strong profanity and sexual themes. I would not recommend this book to younger readers due to some of the content.
