I read this book when I was thirteen. Thirteen god damn years old. Do you know how traumatized I was? Pretty fucking traumatized. This book is sick. Like literally so sick it's not even worth reviewing. The only reason I'm writing this is to warn you away from it. To this day (I'm seventeen now)...
There wasn't a clear, identifiable emotion within me, except for greed and, possibly, total disgust...the normal ability to feel compassion had been eradicated...I was simply imitating reality, a rough resemblance of a human being, with only a dim corner of my mind functioning.

I was undecided about what rating to give American Psycho, but thinking about the last 200 pages of the novel, I decided one star was more than enough. The first half of the book was really great.
