If you have read the infamous first page of this book, congratulations! You have read the best part of this book. The story drags on from there with the main focus of it only happening in the last third of the book. 

The fact that the narrator questions whether or not this book will even be published multiple times says it all. I understand why this book was published anonymously: being a sniveling misogynist and a coward go hand in hand. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

I was shocked by what this book had to offer. I understand why a lot of people don't like this book (the content can be quite graphic and overly-sexual), but I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I would recommend giving this a read with the audiobook!

What on EARTH is this. I borrowed this from the library (thank goodness I didn't spend actual money on this) and honestly, the first page or so really gripped me. When I read the first paragraph about

emotionally hurting girls to purposefully cripple them, demean them and demoralise them

I thought that I was really getting into the dark side of the human condition and was genuinely intrigued by what the main character did to them. But after the first few pages, it was massively deflating and I didn't feel like it had much substance to it. I felt so disappointed and to be honest, it was a complete waste of my time.
