3.0

Weirdly reminiscent of the blighted hell scape of the modern incel, the book shows the ease with which the misogynist sees women only as objects. The madonna/whore trope is rife with the book and so convinced of his holiness, the main character is pretty unpleasant. In fact, many of the characters and social systems displayed are wholly unpleasant.
