Diary of an Oxygen Thief

Hurt people hurt people.

Say there was a novel in which Holden Caulfield was an alcoholic and Lolita was a photographer's assistant, and somehow they met in Bright Lights, Big City. He's blinded by love. She by ambition.

Diary of an Oxygen Thief is an honest, hilarious, and heartrending novel but, above all, a very realistic account of what we do to each other and what we allow to have done to us.

You’ll love to hate this fr

If you go into this expecting a great guy going through a rough patch who’ll most likely have a redemption arc… I advise you stop hoping before diving. Nothing in this is meant for the reader to condone and that’s what makes this low key amazing.

loved it

I loved this book very catching.. I want to read the next or at least the screenplay. I am very happy he got to publish and touched by the book.. I really enjoyed it.

I am unsettled

Because I think I wrote this in another reality?

We're all rooting for us, Brother.

Ugly Truths in Beautiful Prose

I hated the main character—truly, deeply—but I couldn’t stop reading. Diary of an Oxygen Thief is brutally honest, raw, and unapologetically toxic in a way that makes you cringe and nod at the same time. The narrator is selfish, manipulative, and emotionally damaged… yet somehow manages to hold up a painfully accurate mirror to parts of human insecurity and desire. The writing is minimal but impactful. It’s not a feel-good book, but it is real. Uncomfortably real.

truth be told

This is very interesting look at the mind and heart of a manipulater .
