Hurt people hurt people. Say there was a novel in which Holden Caulfield was an alcoholic and Lolita was a photographerโs assistant and, somehow, they met in Bright Lights, Big City . Heโs 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.

Fantastic and Short Read
Book was delivered perfectly. Read the whole thing in two days. Love it. Itโs infuriating at first but just sit back and read it through, itโs worth the read.

Helped heal me!
Hear me out, the writing isnโt great. You can tell this person isnโt an experienced regular author, BUT, it helped me understand a relationship I was in & was SO similar to things that happened & were said to me. I had more healing reading this than I did over the last few years trying to understand in therapy.Also gives me hope that people like this end up getting what they deserve.

Thought-Provoking
**"Diary of an Oxygen Thief"** is a raw and captivating novel that delves into the complexities of love, heartache, and the cyclical nature of pain. The story follows an unnamed narrator who embodies the troubled spirit of a modern-day Holden Caulfield, grappling with his struggles as an alcoholic while navigating the chaotic landscape of relationships. He crosses paths with a fiercely ambitious woman working as a photographerโs assistant, whose relentless pursuit of success blinds her to the emotional turmoil she creates around her.Through a blend of dark humor and poignant insight, the novel explores the harsh realities of human connection and the ways in which we hurt one another and ourselves. The protagonistโs journey is a powerful reminder of the scars we carry and the impact of our actions on those we love, painting a vivid picture of the messiness of life and love. **"Diary of an Oxygen Thief"** is not just an exploration of broken hearts; it is an honest, hilarious, and heartrending account of what it means to truly connect, making it a thought-provoking read for anyone who has experienced the highs and lows of relationships.

great seller, mediocre book
The book came in excellent condition and shipped quickly. Physically, thereโs nothing wrong with the book and the seller did a great job.The storyline of this book is essentially a character study of a man with psychopathy who enjoys hurting women emotionally. Generally, I would find things like this interesting but I could not get into this book. It is very slow paced in the sense that the book doesnโt really go anywhere. The man is writing to himself about himself and he is incredibly misogynistic. It gets very repetitive, and the main character is meant to be unlikeable- and he does a great job.The seller 10/10, the book itself personally I wouldnโt read it again.

I donโt really know what to say, itโs a book. I liked it, and it came in good quality. Nothing on it, and nothing wrong with it! :)(if you see anything on it itโs completely my fault, Iโve had this book for I think almost a year)

โ I think this book was good. I think it took a lot of guts ...
I read the book โ Diary of the Oxygen Thief.โ I think this book was good. I think it took a lot of guts to write a book about his personal experience. About how he was an alcoholic and how he was a narcissist. The book starts off in Dublin and the main character loves to take away the women's way of emotion. He does this by sitting and listening to there problems and then use it against them in the worst way. He would then ask them to take revenge on him by following him around and stock him. Which made him feel like they stilled cared. So eventually he got sober and met a girl that he loved but was scared to commit because he didn't want to go back to his old way. So, one day when he went to the bar he was with his girlfriend and his girlfriend would always be taking pictures of him. As he was 8 years sober, his girlfriend gave him coke. In the coke there was vodka. So after being 8 years sober he relapsed. Which was a very sad part in the book.The character in the book had a lot courage to write about his experience. He put his differences aside and let his expire de free. Beiยง&an alcoholic was a hard thing for him to recover and stopping to emotionally hurt girls was another really hard thing for him. By getting sober and by cleaning up his life he became great at his job and became ?+very successful. He put his accomplishment and struggle into a book which was a really good book. I highly recommend reading this book. It ยกwas very good.

Love it
I actually love how this book is written and if youโre into this theme of like books like crime and punishment or just books written by like Dostoevsky or psychological based books, and this is definitely for you and in general, it doesnโt take that long to finish. Amazingly written feels like someoneโs just talking too, and the words are simple so nothing to really decipher if you want something thatโs an easy read

A controversial review for a controversial book.
I read a lot of reviews for this book before I picked it up myself. In fact, the awful reviews are what made me want to pick up the book.As a woman myself, who dated my fairshare of narcissistic men, who have gained the same sense of accomplishment from hurting women.It interested me to know the other side of the pain being caused rather than being on the receiving end of the pain.Reading all the reviews of women saying this book is vile, etc. "How can a man profit off of being so disgusting" to which I wanted to make a point of saying: There are more disgusting and vile authors out there who have profited of far worse than this man.Not only has me reading this brought some form of backwards closure, understanding the brain of a man who derives pleasure from someone else's pain. But it's also helped me understand that it wasn't my fault I was hurt.I will admit, I found the author extremely obnoxious in his writing, his use of words and metaphors made me roll my eyes more in the 3 hours it took me to read it, than I ever have in the 25 years of life I'd lived on this earth.I do think it's a book that is worth reading, not only for the reality shock of what was in it. It shows the uncaring side of humanity towards other people's feelings and the lack of empathy at leaving people helpless in your wake.I will say that even though the actions of this person against the women he's destroyed are apparent and disgusting. My heart hurt for him reading the last two pages.Congratulations to you, Mr. Anonymous.
