A paranoid alcoholic got bullied by a girl, and he was so butthurt about it that he wrote a book. That's literally it. ( )

hard to put down once you get into it, gives u a deeper insight into the mind of an alcoholic and surely a not so mentally well person! you don’t see a nice side to him but you do see a realistic one ( )

Ugh... ( )

Not nearly as horrible as I thought it'd be, but yeah... not great. Despite a potentially great premise, the writing is just very pedestrian, and the middle section sloggged. The second half of the book is much more engaging than the first though; I didn't think I'd get to see a slow character arc like that. Really enjoyed the character of Aisling.

There's a fascinating story about the marketing of this book here too somewhere, which is pretty intriguing. Need to work in the publishing industry for this kinda drama, swear to god. ( )

I see a lot of people dislike this book because the narrator is so deeply unlikable, and I get that, but I think it might be more enjoyable if you see this as "outsider art". This is a book for those who are interested in abnormal and/or criminal psychology. This is the art of someone with a very troubled, sick mind. This isn't the diary of a normal heartbroken man, this is the diary of an Oxygen Theif.

Summary: Fear and Loathing without the drugs. Take a dive into the mind of a narcissistic, sadistic, paranoid sociopath who meets his match. ( )
