The success of a book relies on the narrator. I have read many books with many narrators, but I have never come across such a terrible narrator. The narrator, let's call him Bobby (because that is what he likes to be called) is such a terrible person that words cannot even describe how terrible he is. He is sexist, racist, greedy, shallow, and altogether creepy. I am positive that he has narcissistic personality disorder and quite sure that he also has borderline personality disorder and histrionic personality disorder.

Bobby's overwhelming character flaws might not make the book so bad, if it focused on anything, anything at all, that wasn't Bobby's greed or his delusional ramblings. But it's hard to like a book that focuses completely on such a terrible person. I just can't like a book like this one with such an unsympathetic character as Bobby.

I got this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.… (mere)
