like eating raw meat: really appalling but also awakening

this guy feeds you salmonella that will disgust you but also exposes you to his attempt at unfiltered avant-garde narrative (some people are actually like him) that could also be understood as ironically invigorating.

the fourth wall breaking was also refreshing albeit awkward

general enjoyment could go both ways for this book so i'll sit on the fence

"Diary of an Oxygen Thief" by Anonymous is a breathtaking, brutally honest, and captivating novel that pulls no punches. The confessional tone and unfiltered voice make you feel like you're peeking into someone's private journal, witnessing their darkest secrets and most vulnerable moments. Exploring themes of love, pain, addiction, and redemption, the protagonist's journey of self-destruction and eventual self-awareness is both harrowing and compelling. It's a stark reminder of the complexities of human emotions and the often messy path to healing. For those who appreciate a story that doesn't shy away from the darker aspects of life, "Diary of an Oxygen Thief" is a powerful, poignant, and unforgettably real journey through the human psyche. Highly recommended for readers seeking authenticity and depth in their literary experiences.

I'll admit it, I got sucked in by the interesting cover, but I hope I can save someone else the time and the confusion of reading this book. Overall, it was a diary that should never have been published because it was utterly pointless. Occasionally, there was a bit of comedic relief, but nothing too notable. The narrator was just an emotionally abusive jerk and had nothing meaningful to say.
