anna_elliot 's review for:
The Truth: An Uncomfortable Book about Relationships
by Neil Strauss
Brought this book in Oxford.
I seem to be the minority here. Namely one of whom really didn't enjoy the book. The beginning of the book seemed promising, then it quickly disintegrated. Few problems I had with this book:
1. I didn't think the story of his parents were his to tell. Simply dissecting the most private part of their soul open for the world to see, for his own profit, was simply disgusting to me. And that's just one of the thing he did that appalled me.
2. Yes I understand he is the villain in the story. But how am I suppose to even feel just a silver of empathy for the guy when all he does is 'me me me'. His feelings, his childhood, his past, his arrogance and enormous ego? So he cheats, lies, wants to have sex with any random women and throw away commitment and love with little regard, but I'm suppose to feel bad for him because he feels bad doing it?
Piss off.
