Jim Chapman

I think this book is so self-indulgent, but not for me. For Jim Chapman himself. I read a lot of it, it's ridiculous but it's sometimes witty.

The line "slightly less dangerous wolves" to describe dogs while this man has what he calls an "utterly pathetic Dachshund" is comicial. That line alone was where I had trouble go any further.

This man is over descriptive and so full of himself. He just repeatedly keeps being along the lines of: but not me, I'm not like the other guys, and I'm one of the smartest humans on earth!

Jim, you write bad, you write stupid.

You are not smart, let alone "smartest".

My biggest issue is how the topics bounce around like an ADHD mess. One moment he talks about his Dachshund, then he's on about why do clothes exist, then he's mentioning his dog licking so far up his nose it feels like she gave him the brain poke of a Covid test. Did the editor of this not have enough say to make him lump all his dog talks into one area and his conversations about random wolf breeding and owning "slightly less dangerous wolves" into another?

I've seen/heard a lot of people say they're not the target audience for this book, but I've yet to see someone it's for. It can't be for ADHD/ADD or mentally tortured people. I'm one of those! I have ADHD on a scale that most people say it's a 12/10 and this book was not for me. So it's not for the group of people who can't keep a coherent train of thought.
So who are the chosen ones?

Even if this book is five years old(going on six), it's just not a thing of its time. It had no time. Even as a medicated ADHD teen, I would not have read this book. I definitely won't as an adult. Oh, wait. I did read it already. What a terrible thing to have done to myself.

Jim Chapman's book basically is a form of legal self-harm, it's not as bad as anything E.L James or Stephanie Meyer puts out, because it has a bit of a life to it, but it's still not good. Being a bit better doesn't change it's bottom of the barrel.

0.5 stars. You could have just organized this stuff and it might have made two stars.… (altro)
