I liked this book, even though I don’t think I liked any of the people in it. It’s a fascinating look at the lengths men will go to to get laid and feel like they’re in control. I appreciate that Strauss is upfront about the drawbacks of this kind of lifestyle, but mostly I just felt sorry for everyone involved. They’re all craving human connection and they think they can get it by manipulating women into having sex with them. Then they wonder why they still feel empty.
