I can see why some people hate this book. Even if I disagree with some arguments presented by the author, I have nothing but utmost respect for any writer who writes truthfully even if it means alienating your publisher and some of you readers. This is an absolute "must-read" for any serious reader. 6/5

Michel Houellebecq opens his front door and steps outside. It is 70.01 degrees Fahrenheit. Taking a drag of his cigarette, he mutters "So fucking hot. This heat is unbearable." and steps back inside.

Too much of this book was about the character Bruno’s sexual experiences and bigotry.
