Corsair Diary of an Oxygen Thief Paperback – Import, 25 August 2016

He’s trying so hard to seem edgy but I like it low key

Read it

Bon livre, telle que vu. Satisfait.

**"Diary of an Oxygen Thief"** is a raw and captivating novel that delves into the complexities of love, heartache, and the cyclical nature of pain. The story follows an unnamed narrator who embodies the troubled spirit of a modern-day Holden Caulfield, grappling with his struggles as an alcoholic while navigating the chaotic landscape of relationships.

The protagonist’s journey is a powerful reminder of the scars we carry and the impact of our actions on those we love, painting a vivid picture of the messiness of life and love. **"Diary of an Oxygen Thief"** is not just an exploration of broken hearts; it is an honest, hilarious, and heartrending account of what it means to truly connect, making it a thought-provoking read for anyone who has experienced the highs and lows of relationships.

Ich habe es einer Freundin von mir gekauft und sie war begeistert

I read a lot of reviews for this book before I picked it up myself. In fact, the awful reviews are what made me want to pick up the book.As a woman myself, who dated my fairshare of narcissistic men, who have gained the same sense of accomplishment from hurting women.It interested me to know the other side of the pain being caused rather than being on the receiving end of the pain.Reading all the reviews of women saying this book is vile, etc. "How can a man profit off of being so disgusting" to which I wanted to make a point of saying: There are more disgusting and vile authors out there who have profited of far worse than this man.Not only has me reading this brought some form of backwards closure, understanding the brain of a man who derives pleasure from someone else's pain. But it's also helped me understand that it wasn't my fault I was hurt.I will admit, I found the author extremely obnoxious in his writing, his use of words and metaphors made me roll my eyes more in the 3 hours it took me to read it, than I ever have in the 25 years of life I'd lived on this earth.I do think it's a book that is worth reading, not only for the reality shock of what was in it. It shows the uncaring side of humanity towards other people's feelings and the lack of empathy at leaving people helpless in your wake.I will say that even though the actions of this person against the women he's destroyed are apparent and disgusting. My heart hurt for him reading the last two pages.Congratulations to you, Mr. Anonymous.

Bello!
