If you want to read a supposedly 'inspirational' book told through sentences written for tiny children with a protagonist who is obsessed with women in a creepy way, then this is the book for you. 

If, like me, that's not for you, don't bother. I wanted to love this and I didn't like it one bit.

NOPE. Never rolled my eyes this much because of a book. Got through this only because I had it as an audibook.
