Book Review: Confessions of a Sociopathic Social Climber

Confessions of a Sociopathic Social Climber by Adele Lang

So I started reading this book back in January and it has just taken me this long to read it.  I had a really hard time getting through the book and enjoying because well, the characters weren't likable.  At all.  I kept hoping that this book would turn enjoyable but instead all I wished for was the main character to get hit by a bus.

The basic plot for this book is that Katya Livingston is ordered to keep a financial journal because she got audited and a lot of her business expenses were personal instead.  This book is literally a personal diary from the main character talking about all of her self absorbed personality and all of the nasty things she did to other people (including her own family) to either gain something from it or avoid helping someone else.  At one point in the book Katya looses her job and all of her friends (whom she treated like crap) helped her out, but  instead her selfish behaviour continued.

This book was meant to be funny, but instead I found it really painful.  I honestly can't put into works how hard this book was to read.  I even had to read two book and I reread 7 of my favorite books just so I could enjoy reading again.  I guess I completely missed the irony and humor of this book but when I was reading it I seriously kept hoping that she would get hit by a freaking bus and then the ambulance as it came to help her.
