It was interesting but mostly just made me angry and didn’t have any conclusive ending which made the book feel pointless. I hated the writing it felt condescending.

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.

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.

olivewastaken's review against another edition

I didn’t like it a lot, it got boring after some. I didn’t like the sentences and how the author used the same words quite a lot. It got repetitive.
