Erica Rivera, writing forMandatory, describes Manson's style in the book as being "as blunt as a man-to-man chat",[22] and Katherine Pushkar describes it as "foul-mouthed, funny-as-hell, [and] dead-on", and his philosophy thus: "that life is hard, you're not special, happiness is a hollow goal and therefore you should make sure you're focused on the truly worthwhile", in her review in theNew York Daily News.[23]
