"Hurt people hurt people. Say Holden Caulfield was an alcoholic and Lolita was a photographer's assistant and somehow they met in Bright Lights Big City. He's blinded by love. She by ambition."

I was intrigued to read this when I saw the first page of this book pass by on Twitter. "I like hurting girls. Mentally, not physically. I never hit a girl in my life. Well, once. But that was a mistake. I'll tell you about it later. The thing is. I got off on it. I really enjoyed it." 

I was so curious about this book, and what it had to offer. I wanted to find out what sort of sick person thought this thing, and the reason behind his feelings. But this book was one disappointment. Our main character was super annoying. Ninety-five percent of the time he was pitying himself, the other five procent he was talking about how much he enjoyed hurting women. 

The only reason that this is a 2-star read instead of a 1-star read is because of the way this book was written. It is a fiction, but I felt like I was reading a non-fiction. I find it really impressive that one can make such a horrible character, and make him feel so real.
