Opening Skinner's Box

This was definitely the most interesting book we've read yet. "Open Skinner's Box" is about some of the greatest, and sometimes most disturbing, psychological experiments of the 20th century. Lauren Slater really got into her research for this book. She hunted down old colleagues and family members of the ones who conducted these experiments as well as some of the participants. She even recreated some of the studies to see if she would react the same way as the participants. Many times throughout the book, Slater struck me as crazy herself. Of course then she admitted that she did have mental issues in the past. There you go.

But I did like the way it was written. It didn't feel like a text book. It felt more like a novel. A crazy novel with a few more vivid adjectives than were probably necessary. But still, it was enjoyable.
