I'm not even sure what to say about this one. It's written in first person, which I hate, and definite trigger warnings for drug abuse, rape, and just everything bad from the 80s. The story follows Clay, a rich kid home from college on winter break. Clay is a mess. He is not mentally stable an...
„American Psycho“ von Bret Easton Ellis ist einer der weltweit umstrittensten Romane aller Zeiten. In Deutschland erschien das Buch 1991, 1995 setzte es die Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdende Medien auf den Index. Über 5 Jahre war es nicht frei erhältlich, bis der Verlag Kiepenheuer & Witsch (Ki...
I needed a little change of pace from all of the darkness and smart-stuff I’ve been reading lately and this book was just the thing. It was also about 6 months late over @ Netgalley. Oops. I don't know why they give me stuff. So, the setup is completely ridiculous but you know what? I don’t even car...

AudibleI normally enjoyed Eli Easton's works, and I was in the mood for something fluffy, romantic, with a tiny dose of angst. It WAS all THAT + a lonely cabin in the woods of Alaska, FBI intrigues, an undercover case, hot sex and an excellent narrator. Maybe it was a material for a longer book, ma...

On some level, this feels like an '80s LA Catcher in the Rye, albeit with richer and older kids, and drugs and prostitution. I feel like this may have been Ellis' intent, I also think that the acclaim that greeted it upon its release likely was due, in part to that comparison, however misguided. Hol...
AMERICAN PSYCHO - American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis is one of my favorite books. It’s a work of true genius, about a sadistic murderer who is self-obsessed. The thing that’s great about this author is his strong voice - several of his other novels convey similar themes. The reader is transported ...
