I loved how, throughout the book, the author said something along the lines of 'if this gets published' or 'if this ever sees the light of day' because really, how did this get published?

Without a doubt one of the worst books I have ever read. The narrator is a pretentious asshole with zero redeeming qualities. The whole 'story' is 95% him complaining about how horrible his life is while the other 5% is how horrible he was treated by the girl he loves (and by love I mean obsesses over, thinks about hurting her, and then condemns her for doing the same thing to him that he's done to countless women before with very little remorse). Comparing this book to Catcher in the Rye and Lo..more

This is an honest, real, account of the legacy of pain, neglect and abuse. What was done to us, what motivates others to harm us, and what we allow them to do. The opening line 'I liked hurting girls.' grabbed me and the following pages made my heart pound as I realized that what was done to me in my lifetime was all documented in this diary. An alcoholic's account of his misogyny is brutal and hard to take at times but the author makes it easy to read because of his honesty, grace, introspectiv..more
Local Man Absolutely Cannot Take What He Gives, Spends Two Hundred Pages Trying To Convince You It's Everyone Else's Fault
I have a feeling that the people who dislike this book have never had intentional, premeditated pain inflicted on them by someone the victim would describe as a 'loved one'. Anyone who has had this happen to them will need to put the book down a few times, perhaps unable to finish. That is only a testament to the truth of the writer's voice. It isn't flowery writing. There is nothing lovely about it. It is a little raw and a little ugly but that is how pain is put down on paper.

Did you like the emotionally disturbing/psychological train wreck that was Gone Girl? You may really enjoy this one. The Oxygen Thief may be the male equivalent to Amy Dunne. (view spoiler)[He's not her equal in the 'planning to destroy your life' department, but more in the 'how much can I hurt someone and get away with it' strain. (hide spoiler)]

I have everything and nothing to say about this book. Did I enjoy it? No. A couple things; First off, to the author on the back of the book who compared this to F. Scott Fitzgerald but for the iPad generation, SHAME ON YOU. How dare you compare this garbage to one of the greatest authors of all time? Pitiful. Second, this is sort of to the parents. I work at a bookstore and was informed that the main age group buying this book is 13-15. Please for the love of all that is good, monitor your child..more

Here’s the thing; I don’t normally review or rate the books I dislike, I don’t like bashing them, especially if the author is still alive. This one however, is an exception. And you may ask why, I’d tell you because this book pissed me off. Like. Really. Pissed me off.

No stars. This book is absolute trash. I really try hard not to be so damning with reviews but this is honestly the worst book I have ever read. I think I am responding so intensely because I saw the demographic of people (read: impressionable young teens) that frequently requested this book and I am seriously appalled that so many of them have read it. It's an unapologetic and even romanticized account of a manipulative and narcissistic garbage dump of a person who hurts people without remorse..more

Holden Caulfield falls in love with Lolita. Are you fucking kidding me? The narrator was unbearable and the plot unrealistic for a supposed 'true story'. I kept thinking that the end would redeem it, but it was the worst part.
Dec 08, 2015Ruby Dawson rated it did not like it · review of another edition
Possibly the worst book I have ever read. The narrative viewpoint is fun as its like an internal monologue; however, the storyline was tedious and drawn out.
Could comparatively make 50 Shades of Grey look like high brow literature.

Once you read this book, you'll be in constant search for another that is just like it. So incredibly truthful whether the actual story is fiction or nonfiction. I've never read a book quite like it, you'll be hating yourself for loving the narrator from start to finish.

How did this book get published? Seriously.
I only read it because i came across the first page of it on tumblr and i thought well, the person who wrote this must be sick but i want to find out if there is a reason behind what he's doing.
I like hurting girls. Mentally not physically, i never hit a girl in my life. Well once. But that was a mistake. I'll tell you about it later. The thing is, i got off on it. I really enjoyed it.

3.75. When I first picked this book up almost a year ago, it really captured my attention. The beginning was strong and compelling, then towards the middle, it felt as if there was no direction and I couldn't figure where it was going. Therefore, I got distracted and hadn't picked it up again. I'm glad I picked it back up because the last third of this was excellent.

Yeah, count me in with those who don't really get the hype. There's nothing that feels particularly revelatory or well-written here, and the stream-of-consciousness jumping around time stuff gets wearying over the very slight 151 pages. Read SO SAD TODAY instead.

When I saw this book sitting on the shelf, I was intrigued by the title, anonymous author, and weird cover. I googled the book and glanced at the mixed and controversial reviews and knew I had to buy it.
Basically, it's a book about a guy who emotionally abuses women and then gets his heartbroken by a woman in the end (not a spoiler, this is fully disclosed in the first pages).

I feel like this story has really great potential for someone who can weave in some more story line for this to become something spectacular. The fist page draws you in. I wanted to hear more of those horrible details, but actually got very few. This was just too rushed. In the hands of a wonderful fiction writer, I think this could be great.

Honesty is such a valuable commodity these days it should be listed on the stock exchange.
First there was A Woman in Berlin and then Go Ask Alice. Now there's Diary Of An Oxygen Thief. One of the scarier side-effects of spending time with this narrator is that you catch yourself identifying with him. It really does feel like you're reading someone's diary. It's got the makings of a cult classic and yes, a great film too.

When I first began reading, I didn't know if I wanted to continue nor did I believe that I would like it in the end. A portrait of an awful human being, consumed in a lifestyle of booze and a dark heart, watching it turn on him left me feeling confused. A believer in, 'you reap what you sow,' I, ultimately, felt bad for a man who led a terrible existence. I don't like what it might imply about me and my own view of acceptance and redemption, but I think the author captured lightening in a bottle..more

After reading this book, I have no doubt as to why this author chose to stay anonymous. I'm not one who has to like the character/characters in a book to enjoy it, and I do have an interest in the human condition, but the author's misogynist bullshit was difficult for me to digest. Initially, you are led to believe that he is looking for some sort of redemption, or at the very least, owning his behavior in an attempt to change it. Sadly, no. I doubt I would finish this one if it was any longer t..more

I didn't finish this book. I'm sorry I started it. A couple of teens came to my library and requested it. Their school librarian wouldn't purchase. Libraries aren't meant to restrict. I did a bit of research and while the subject matter wasn't my cup of tea, there were no warnings or restrictions on it.
When it arrived I thought I should at least try to read it, which I did.

So good that I had to force myself to put it down. I kind of kept thinking I was just waiting for the story to start, but the writing was just like having a conversation that I couldn't interrupt. It also helped that I met the author (or so he said, being Anonymous it's hard to tell, except that the man I met actually was Irish and living in New York so I suppose maybe his story lines up) so I had a kind of face and personality to put with the character already. Either way.. I was very glad tha..more

I have no idea what to say. As someone who has recently had their heart-broken, I had a pen in my hand to underline so many things in his book. So much of this novel was hard to read. For 2/3 of the book I was incredibly conflicted. The narrator of this book is narcissistic, over-bearing, and down-right arrogant. Yet I somehow felt sorry for him.

Wild ride! I actually read the second installment (in what I hear is going to be a trilogy!), 'Chameleon on a Kaleidoscope' first, but was equally enamored of the 'prequel' - 'Diary of O2 Thief' was all I'd hoped it would be and more. Totally titillating, I read it from cover to cover in one sitting. Fascinating insight into alcoholism and the mind of the modern man. Everyone has their demons - Anonymous is astonishingly ballsy for airing his with wit and brutal honesty. A tour de force.
