This book will forever stick with me for all the wrong reasons. It is not a literary masterpiece, nor is it inspiring, however it is psychologically thought-provoking and opens your eyes to the misogynistic ideals that some people have in life.

It's a bit hard to get through because the main character is very unlovable, but the book is written in a very captivating and novel way.

pfadfinnder's review against another edition

It was very hard for me to read since it's really slow paced and the story doesn't seem to get to any point. I was out when he didn't know whether the girl he slept with was 14.

amirahreads's review against another edition

I thought there was going to be a plot but it’s literally just a pov of a man who hates woman. Whoever recommended this book to me count your days.

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.
