1.0

This book was so shockingly boring. Endless paragraphs of monotonous descriptions of designer clothing brands and otherwise non-interesting babble made this a really dull read. I understand that they were there to portray his mindset and pretentious personality but, for the sake of the reader, they didn’t need to take up such a large portion of the book. There is only one gross/shocking scene that I can remember from the entire book, otherwise everything else was very forgettable
