Give Me Everything You Have: On Being Stalked

This was an interesting memoir about a professor whose former student becomes obsessed with him. She proceeds to send him harrassing emails, eventually escalating to attempting to destroy his reputation by emailing wild allegations to his professional network and disparaging him on Amazon, Goodreads, Wikipedia, etc. Although it was fascinating to read about the student's escalation into cyberstalking, there were two contemplative sections of the book dealing with literature and race which didn't grab me. Nonetheless, the story is worth reading and it is especially disturbing that the student continues to harrass the author.
