Chameleon in a Candy Store: Volume 2 (Oxygen Thief Diaries)

Product Information

This sequel to Diary of an Oxygen Thief is just as dark and sexual, and the narrator just as unlikable. Diary of an Oxygen Thief worked for me, despite the repetitions, rants/rambles, diversions and fourth-wall breaking, because it wasn’t sectioned.

Meanwhile he is surviving his job as a commercial marketer where is coworkers drive him absolutely insane. There is almost no actual narrative (the book is broken up into segments based on the girls he dates or sleeps with), and the cute ideas for TV commercials don't quite make up for the fact that most of this book seems to be the author writing about sex for the sake of writing about sex. Also, I don’t know if the snippets at the end of the book are actual messages the author received from the dating site or not, but they’re a nice touch. If you've never dealt with the situations written about, or you aren't a little depraved yourself, it could seem shocking and uncomfortable. The experience the narrator had with women spans not only experiences within America but also abroad, along with internalized notions of what he deemed to be ‘americanism’.Corsair is a diverse list, united under a single strategy: to publish the very best in ambitious and ground-breaking fiction. If anything I felt more played because I could see how it is a continuation but at the same time not. 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.

That's why the author, frustrated cause he may have found the "one" but doesn't exactly know how to feel, decides to create a female alter ego on a dating site, who will help him to sell his books. This one I felt was equally as hooking, I felt like I could enjoy the presence of significant characters within the story longer. If there’s a footnote for each new slang that appears, cool, but no, it’s only used once and that just frustrates me a lot since this singular footnote and the not-smooth transitioning assists the narrative in being clinical.

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. After breaking up with the French girl and ending the therapy sessions he embarks on a sexual adventure encountering all manner of women online. Anonymous is back with the intoxicating, darkly dangerous, and wildly addictive sequel to his New York Times bestselling debut novel Diary of an Oxygen Thief . I didn't think anything would be able to top Diary of an Oxygen theif, which is one of my all time favourite books! 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.

Nevertheless, the overall writing in this book has improved, though I prefer the one in Diary of an Oxygen Thief since a coherent and detectable plot line exists there. I have had people tell me that most books are just fiction anyway and that I am looking for too much in a book, but books can be fiction and still connect to you.A few pages have become detached from the book but it’s only a minor issue, doesn’t affect my reading. Although I like the difference since the ‘other’ style which I assume is one used when coming up with a story line or directive or something like that in advertising, it’s a slight nuisance to me. The whole book felt like one long talk with a real person and I really love this aspect of that book.

Because it seemed as though this was written during the publication process of Diary of an Oxygen Thief. So it honestly led me to wonder how men outside of America act, more than anything because everything came back to him wanting to be in New York. While this is by no means a literary masterpiece by Hemingway or Fitzgerald, it's a disgustingly entertaining piece that chronicles the thoughts and feelings of an ex-alcoholic misogynist who is apathetic to any form of emotional attachment and committed relationship.When you are so lonely for so long and just so used in fucking every relationship you ever had, you'd think that love is just the same story over and over again, people playing a part repeatedly and with different muses every time. As a testament to our times it is accurate; women are constantly degraded and seen as property for men to accumulate.
