The strong first page of “Diary of an oxygen thief” by Anonymous was the reason I wanted to read this book in the first place. We get to know an alcoholic Irishman who has found pleasure in hurting women. He likes to torture women by pretending he is on the same page as them, just to leave them once they have completely fallen in love with him. He is not only a narcissist but also extremely paranoid. He thinks the world revolves around him and everyone is out to get him - especially his vengeful exes- that is why he blames every misfortune that happens to him on them. Even after being sober for five years, leaving his messy ways with alcohol and women in the past and having a successful career, he finds a way to complain about his life. While on a business trip in New York, he meets a young woman from Dublin who has it all. She is intelligent and beautiful, which is why he falls in love with her immediately. However, what he doesn’t know is that he’ll finally get a taste of his own medicine.

Ein Muss für alle Transgressive Fiction Liebhaber (interessant, packend, verstörend)

Das Buch ist auf seine eigene Art ein Meisterwerk. Nachdem man die erste Seite liest ist man entweder verstört/angeekelt oder wird von der Geschichte gepackt. Der Hauptcharakter ist kein guter Mensch; mit sehr misogynen Zügen, einen Hang zum Alkohol und sehr fragwürdige Ansichten über Beziehungen und Liebe. Genau dieses Detail des unsympathischen Hauptcharakter, dessen moralische Werte man nicht haben wollen würde macht das ganze erst interessant. Während die Geschichte den Leser in die Perspektive des Frauenhassenden Herzensbrecher bringt, dabei gegen viele modernen Trends und Werte geht ist das Buch zum Schluss ein wahrer Page Turner.
