Greedy: Notes from a Bisexual Who Wants Too Much

Product Information

Jen’s provocative, laugh-out-loud debut takes us inside her journey of self-discovery, leading us through stories of a childhood “girl crush,” an onerous quest to have a threesome, and an enduring fear of being bad at sex.

In one sense the world has changed, and people are discarded in favour of ever greater profits, and companies that seek to do the right thing are punished by the market because they are spending money that is not rightfully theirs. I had hoped for a book with a more sophisticated take on being bi - how we may code switch depending on the relationship, how we are viewed by others when we don’t stick to one “box/label,” how our sense of identity might morph over time… and this is decidedly not that.

However he is not pilloried by the other Mr Men (although some cruelty takes place in other stories), and there is no-one to curb his habits. In fact, I remember speaking to a life insurance professional once and asked him what the best thing about his job was – he said denying claims – and the thing is that when they deny claims they don't see a suffering person at the end, they see a saving, and when confronted with this, their response is generally 'but the law is on our side'. What Hargreaves is talking about here is not so much greed, but gluttony – which is one of the seven deadly since.

Theme - True to the name of the book, the theme of the story is about what can go wrong when you are greedy. Everyone has a voice to be heard, and some of Winston's writing is relatable, validating, and necessary to hear.Nowadays, with the modern-day accusations of fat-shaming, I wasn't so sure I would see it the same way. A handbook for a new start: a thoughtful analysis of what has gone wrong in the financial world, and the history of how that has come about. I really appreciated the honesty and vulnerability that sheds a little bit of light onto the weight bisexual and queer folks carry with them.

I personally found it to read like an extended Buzzfeed article with more pop media references than genuine thought.That this is only book two in a series of fifty, should serve to fill any reader with a wild anticipation and appetite for the other unexpected delights that Roger Hargreaves may have yet to serve. It literally felt like having a conversation with my friends outside of a gay bar we spontaneously dropped by, only to end up chain-smoking outside with a group of people we just met (one of them being a girl my friend had previously gone a date with but blew off) and guessing each other's zodiac signs (this did actually happen).
