Holden Caulfield falls in love with Lolita. Are you fucking kidding me? The narrator was unbearable and the plot unrealistic for a supposed "true story". I kept thinking that the end would redeem it, but it was the worst part.
at least i got out of a reading slump trying to finish this as fast as i could
Jesus Christ. If I wanted to hear the shitty opinions and life views of a sociopathic manipulator, I'd call my ex.
I loved how, throughout the book, the author said something along the lines of "if this gets published" or "if this ever sees the light of day" because really, how did this get published?
Local Man Absolutely Cannot Take What He Gives, Spends Two Hundred Pages Trying To Convince You It's Everyone Else's Fault
"Romance has killed more people than cancer. Okay...maybe not killed but dulled more lives."
I really enjoyed this book I was rooting for the villain in this one, hoping he would mend his wicked ways....great book!
This is an honest, real, account of the legacy of pain, neglect and abuse. What was done to us, what motivates others to harm us, and what we allow them to do. The opening line "I liked hurting girls." grabbed me and the following pages made my heart pound as I realized that what was done to me in my lifetime was all documented in this diary. An alcoholic's account of his misogyny is brutal and hard to take at times but the author makes it easy to read because of his honesty, grace, introspectiv...
Here’s the thing: I don’t normally review or rate the books I dislike. I don’t like bashing them. Especially if the author is still alive. This one, however, is an exception. You may wonder why and I’d tell you because this book pissed me off. Like. Really. Pissed me off. I came across the very first lines of the novel by accident and it immediately caught my attention:“I liked hurting girls.Mentally, not physically, I never hit a girl in my life. Well, once. But that was a mistake. I’ll tell yo...
Fiction is fiction. Work through your pain. Live your life.
No stars. This book is absolute trash. I really try hard not to be so damning with reviews but this is honestly the worst book I have ever read. I think I am responding so intensely because I saw the demographic of people (read: impressionable young teens) that frequently requested this book and I am seriously appalled that so many of them have read it. It's an unapologetic and even romanticized account of a manipulative and narcissistic garbage dump of a person who hurts people without remorse
Without a doubt one of the worst books I have ever read. The narrator is a pretentious asshole with zero redeeming qualities. The whole "story" is 95% him complaining about how horrible his life is while the other 5% is how horrible he was treated by the girl he loves (and by love I mean obsesses over, thinks about hurting her, and then condemns her for doing the same thing to him that he's done to countless women before with very little remorse). Comparing this book to Catcher in the Rye and Lo...
Alternative title: diary of a raging misogynist
The title was better than the book.
he definitely listens to the smiths
4 stars“Hurt people hurt people more skillfully. An expert heartbreaker knows the effect of each incision. The blade slips in barely noticed, the pain and the apology delivered at the same time.”Okay, what can I say about this book? Well, for starters, it's 4 stars but not a good 4 stars. I liked it because it appalled me. I just really enjoy reading about psychotic and disgusting people. It intrigues me and being inside his head and taking a look around was just something else.The first third o...
self-absorbed, masturbatory 'catcher in the rye' ripoff.
I have everything and nothing to say about this book. Did I enjoy it? No. A couple things; First off, to the author on the back of the book who compared this to F. Scott Fitzgerald but for the iPad generation, SHAME ON YOU. How dare you compare this garbage to one of the greatest authors of all time? Pitiful. Second, this is sort of to the parents. I work at a bookstore and was informed that the main age group buying this book is 13-15. Please for the love of all that is good, monitor your child...
Did you like the emotionally disturbing/psychological train wreck that was Gone Girl? You may really enjoy this one. The Oxygen Thief may be the male equivalent to Amy Dunne. (view spoiler)[He's not her equal in the "planning to destroy your life" department, but more in the "how much can I hurt someone and get away with it" strain. (hide spoiler)] Diary of an Oxygen Thief is written as an actual diary by, as you can see above, Anonymous. The story starts in London. He's an alcoholic who discove...
2.5 starsI mean it quite literally when I say this....but I think the fact that this was the first book I ever read is the reason I am completely fucked in the head today.This story circles around one of the most disgusting men I've encountered so far. And I'll be damned if I say I wasn't curious.It's mostly the knowledge that I've met at least a dozen of men like that in my short lifetime. I could never understand why they do what they do.This book though, this book explained it clear as day. I...
