A really deep psychological stream of consciousness from a perceived protagonist with a mind comparable to that of a serial killer. I loved it, I loved trying to understand him, and I loved partially feeling a sort of relationship with him through his journey in recovery. Totally recommend.

This book is painful to read, due to how narcissistic the author is. That being said it is one of my favorite books! If you intend to read it, don’t over analyze it, take it as it is.

This book was deeply disturbing. I have read and reread the copyright page to verify that it was a work of fiction, but quite frankly I can’t imagine anyone just making this up. It was a good novel though. I would not recommend it just because of its gruesomeness. However, I would not discourage someone from reading it if they brought it up.

Waste of time to read in my opinion. I don’t really get it. It’s kind of pretentious. It isn’t at all about what it claims to be about, and the metaphors fall flat.
