Despite having an interesting premise, I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would. The constant time jumps made the story difficult to follow. The main characters constant sexism and objectification of women made him difficult to root for, and even though some characters describe him as amoral and sexist, there were no real consequences for his actions. He still got everything he wanted.
