To put it kindly, this book is the diary-style ramblings of an unreliable, raging narcissist with a superiority complex. You'll be taken on a winding journey to the day that a woman causes his comeuppance. And you know what? I think he's just frustrated that he hadn't thought of her schemes first! There are no lessons learned and no grand meanings, only fodder for more self-authored books, and it's perfect that way.

Description
Hurt people hurt people.
Say there was a novel in which 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. Diary of an Oxygen Thief is an honest, hilarious, and heartrending novel, but above all, a very realistic account of what we do to each other and what we allow to have done to us.
