Craig is an alright character, self aware and I liked some of his quotes. I find the whole Craig finds love in asylium  unnecessary, it's the same as in more YA contemporary books and it's boring and not that realistic.

But the way he describes women is ... concerning, to say at least. I had to skip a lot of parts of the book because it was just disgusting. 
I don't get the hype it got/is getting, didn't live up to my expectations.
