I have no coherent words beyond the fact that I fucking loved it. It's a fucked up little book about a depressively fucked up guy, so while it feels odd to say I fucking loved reading it, it's the only accurate phrase for how I felt having read it. I just fucking loved it.

Maybe this book isn't for me. Guess I am the society this dude was talking about because "the audacity of him talking like that?" Simply put he is a man and being a man he considers women as objects. Who doesn't love that huh? But for some odd reason I do have a little sympathy for this man.

terrifying. but amazing

honestly? it was depressing in a way where it was boring. like the entirety of the book was just about this guys crippling anxiety and depression getting worse overtime, but its so fast paced and worded in a way that kinda made me just go like "yeah ok i get it u wanna die" 

but some parts of it were also relatable and actually made me feel something, which is why i didnt give it a 1 star. 

it was written poetically too

What makes us human?

I don't know what to say..

I really enjoyed reading this book. There were many quotes which I underlined because they were good or relateble or both.
