Morbid curiosity kept me going but this is one of the worst books I've ever had the displeasure of reading. It reads like part erotica, part rambling and indulges in all sorts of misogyny for pure shock value. It doesn't really land imo, because the main character is just kind of spineless and the concept is poorly executed overall.

This book should have the tag line - one man's excuse to do whatever he wanted at whatever cost. Interesting idea - poor execution. I don't think the book has aged well
