With that said, the way the narrator talks about women is icky. It is a crawling-under-your-skin type of icky. The narrator heavily objectifies women and has a victim complex even when his wife is a victim of SA. One could argue that the narrator's relationship with women is a side-effect of his addiction and anxiety. However, objectifying women will never be excusable in my eyes so I gotta take down a few stars for that. Also, the narrator will go on these rants that were very dull in my eyes and I actually skipped a whole page because it made no relevance to the overall plot of the book.
