The inner monologue combined with the undeniable relatability of the main character - don’t be pretentious - make this novel one of the more enjoyable ones I’ve tackled recently.

The writing is really good and i could imagine all the scenes in my head. It was really hard to put down. The protagonist is a horrible person. He’s arrogant, narcissistic and misogynistic. But i liked reading a book from the POV of a bad person, so i still really enjoyed the book.

It's become one of my favorite books. Cleverly written. Love the casual way he addresses what I believe to be the issue with the generation X, Y and whatever is born afterward.
