Product Information

Cause after all, love is like selling products, and that's why between the pages of the author's adventures we'll find paragraphs about his advertisemet's ideas. With my defenses reduced to rubble around me, I felt it was time to surrender or self-destuct, Or maybe I yearned for the familiarity of unhappiness, choosing self-sabotage over uncertainty, I’d rather fuck it up than not know. So the timeline for that also felt off as I am assuming he was in his mid thirties when it was written and now he was in forties, essentially I was confused of the span of this book more than I thought I would be. Yes it's appalling and ridiculously offensive like the first, but the first actually sparked so many conversations and I annotated the everliving daylight out of it.

I've always found it difficult for me to get into a good book that I can relate to in some sort of way. I didn't think anything would be able to top Diary of an Oxygen theif, which is one of my all time favourite books! So this is the second book in the series, start off with Diary of an Oxygen Thief or you might be a little lost. If the stories are non-fictional (or even semi-non-fictional, as the author suggests), I'm amazed that someone thought up such a devious, yet successful, marketing strategy.

Here, the author seems to start writing an actual story, and I got to the end of the book feeling like I had just started a new novel (which was perhaps the intent). This time he delves into the life of online dating, and whilst he can be quite abhorrent about his attitude to women, some of his words carry the element of uncomfortable truth.

The saddest part in the book is that when he realized that he was finally happy, he wasn't able to accept that he is allowed to be happy and that he was so paranoid waiting for the moment when he realized that he made a mistake, played the part of a fool and got hurt again. As anyone who’s seen me recently knows, I loved diary of an oxygen thief - it’s catapulted to one of my favourite all time books, so when I discovered it was the first of a trilogy I was beyond excited. I'd describe his online dating endeavors as probably standard among those who have tried it, and he doesn't exactly provide a new perspective.The self-congratulatory ending proves the author wasn't even trying to learn more about women or better himself, merely to sell books and trick people.

The last quarter of the book, however, seems to take on a different tone and style, and I flew through this part in one sitting because I found it fascinating.The author seems to think his experiences with online dating are novel; either that, or he's convinced he knows the best way to document the harsh truths of 21st-century dating and relationships. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This sequel to Diary of an Oxygen Thief is just as dark and sexual, and the narrator just as unlikable.
