However as the narrator points out “you’re not punished for your sins, you’re punished by them” and karma’s a bitch with a camera in this case. His pattern remains the same until he takes it too far and decides to change his life around and move to the United States and refrain from any relationship with women for a decade. Self-proclaimed decent looking and wealthy enough to attract women. Is it fiction or non-fiction? We are instead met with an emotionally abusive graphic designer in London preying on women to use and once they’ve fallen for him, he publicly humiliates them. In fact, you’ll be questioning yourself every time you think of it after reading it. Anyway if you enjoy dark looks at individuals that are constantly sarcastic, you might enjoy this book.When you think of the novel’s title ‘Diary of an Oxygen Thief’, you could link it to romance, action or adventure, but you’d be sorely mistaken when coming across this book. Imagine Dennis Reynolds, Don Draper, and Holden Caulfield all mixed together. The main character is very clearly a piece of shit though. This might be because I’ve read American Psycho but who knows. However, I didn’t feel as if the book was as depraved as I had been led to believe. Throughout though, he proves himself to be an unreliable narrator and the books has its humorous moments.īut this book was hyped up to me as something extremely disturbed and not for the faint of heart. Things pick back up when he meets a woman he genuinely cares about but is very cold / cruel to him. The first few pages really grip you in with a strong hook but falters after the narrator describes his 5th or 6th relationship. For those who never heard of it, it’s basically a character study on someone who emotionally abuses women that he casually dates. I want to start by saying I totally understand why people dislike this book, it isn’t for everyone. Example: Hello.Įxplanation of our link flairs Join our /r/bookclub Don't forget /new!
