umarshahzad's review against another edition

It was really disturbing of how a person would think of hurting girls like that. As Jack Edwards said “it wants to be like Lolita so bad”. It fails to explore the women in another way other than them being commodities.

Read this book if you want to hear a privileged white man whine and complain about his super successful life while also hating women a lot and wishing actual violence and pain on them and also being an alcoholic! He also is extremely hypocritical, getting angry at women for playing him when he has done that multiple times and worse to women. Aww waa waa a girl screwed you over boo hoo :( . The fact that it is supposedly an autobiography (which I am not sure I believe) makes me a bit ill, because I am also currently reading Men Who Hate Women by Laura Bates, so I know that even if this book is fictional, men who behave and think exactly like this really do exist in the modern world (which is terrifying). And this book isn't even misogynistic in a social commentary way, just in a "this guy sucks so bad" kind of way. But yeah I can agree that this guy has been wasting oxygen his whole life! Overall, I regret reading it, even though it was kind of enjoyable at some points in a Nihilistic way.

Read from the Provo library.

Main character is trash. All he does is complain and tell you a rambling story about how he got his comeuppance. I think we are supposed to feel bad for him but truly the only delight in this book is when he is truly suffering. He is a bad person who needs therapy.
