It's actually hard to read "bad writing comedy" in large doses, and the book does the right thing by splitting it into three novellas. It's still just a bit too much, I had to put it down and read something else just to take a break. The best joke in it isn't even related to the writing - you get a very clear picture of the absolute loathing the "author" has for women through clueless revelations about their exes, a woman character acting completely bizarrely about shoes, and the usual litany of misogynist complaints blithely worked into the stories "without noticing". Still, you shouldn't miss it.
