What's not to like about a book that can frame anybody you dislike as an abuser beyond rehabilitation and yourself as a hapless victim? It's a book for the times!
I prefer Machiavelli's work because at least that framed the reader as being no better than anybody else. This is Machiavelli with a victim complex. My issue with the book isn't misunderstanding it's disgust at the black and white ethics.

Quelle horreur! The weirder part to me is the number of people who end up caping for abusers and abuse. Usually they're more subtle than you, though.
