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

Product Information

Although there are pros in the book being neater due to the sectioning since there are an awful lot of women included here, it made the narrative feel less genuine and more clinical. It's reliving a moment in your life when you wanted to escape the silence so you try to fall in love with someone as desperate to get out the drowning void of loneliness. So the timeline for that also felt off as I am assuming he was in his mid thirties when it was written and now he was in forties, essentially I was confused of the span of this book more than I thought I would be. The whole book felt like one long talk with a real person and I really love this aspect of that book. 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.

This is a book mostly about the author's issues with sex, which means there will be attempts to shock you. Chameleon on a kaleidoscope Is such a great read, something about the rawness of it just makes it impossible to put down! The methods to gain access to women's bodies which require deception and dishonesty are not secrets, they are tiresome and destructive. Moreover, some of the jumps from one section/woman to the another aren’t smooth, and that singular footnote should never be included. 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.With no empathy Anonymous shows us not only the cruel reality of online dating but also a sad truth about ourselves. This time he delves into the life of online dating, and whilst he can be quite abhorrent about his attitude to women, some of his words carry the element of uncomfortable truth. After all it is a second and we all know that for most movies, their second parts are rather disappointing, however this book just like the first one did not disappoint.

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’.It looks like he might be about to settle down and get married until the very act of going to therapy opens him up to other options. 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.

Although it merely continues the first book, the loathing of women the character suffers from quickly becomes unbearable.

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. Here, the author seems to start writing an actual story, and I got to the end of the book feeling like I had just started a new novel (which was perhaps the intent). As anyone who’s seen me recently knows, I loved diary of an oxygen thief - it’s catapulted to one of my favourite all time books, so when I discovered it was the first of a trilogy I was beyond excited. After breaking up with the French girl and ending the therapy sessions he embarks on a sexual adventure encountering all manner of women online. Broken people learn how to keep the peace at the expense of our own needs, We merged into any given situation.
