I'm not really sure what I thought of this book. There were some bad moments and then some good pieces of advice. Maybe I'm not the best to judge because I don't often read self help books (is that what this is??), but it seemed very middle of the road to me.

2023: Every time I reread this book I feel differently about it, to some extent. Parts of it are contradictory and I think the quality decreases as the book continues, but the first few chapters are useful. Choosing your pain, responsibility and fault being different things, accepting that being average is okay, etc. But once it gets past that point it seems like he just wants to brag about his previous sexual escapades. I guess he's trying to come across as honest, relatable, and vulnerable by writing about his past and where he felt he went wrong, but instead it just seems like he's screaming I'M FUCKABLE, I SWEAR at us all.
2022: Still an immensely useful book to me. I don't think Manson is always right, especially as it seems as if he's never experienced systemic discrimination, but I do think he has a lot of good points. Maybe one day I'll stop blocking out the bits I don't want to hear lol.

This book had some solid nuggets in there, some nice quotes and pieces to think upon.
A lot of sexual references which got old quite quickly, and, having read this via audiobook it felt a little odd to hear them out loud.
A trigger warning for the final story should be adhered, the vivid detail a little jarring.
Overall, quirky, fun, relatable, and maybe best listened to passively rather than taken too seriously.
