I'm trying very badly not to launch into a full fledged rant against this book as I type this out because rants are rarely, if ever, proper reviews. And I want to pose a rational argument explaining my dislike for this book. As much as the sexist ramblings of the protagonist and the selfish, irratio...

What begins as a masteful examination of the pain caused by a love affair turns into an examination of how one man comes to God (despite coming in hate and not in love).
