So nun habe ich endlich auch das „großartige epochale gesellschaftskritische ironische Werk“ American Psycho von Bret Easton Ellis gelesen und ich sage WÄH! Dies mache ich übrigens nicht wegen der ausufernden Gewaltszenen, die mich allzusehr schockiert hätten oder wegen der allesamt unsympathischen ...
“I had all the characteristics of a human being—flesh, blood, skin, hair—but my depersonalization was so intense, had gone so deep, that my normal ability to feel compassion had been eradicated, the victim of a slow, purposeful erasure. I was simply imitating reality, a rough resemblance of a human ...
Less Than Zero is an affecting ridealong in a car full of coke-addled rich kids. The ending is properly shocking. I was, as was intended, thoroughly disgusted, as I'm sure you will be too. I didn't like a single character. The book has all the appeal of a trainwreck that causes a chemical spill at y...

Original review (2/8/2011):This book was intense. It made me feel really uncomfortable. It's hard to put it into words. Definitely not for the weak of heart. Great writing. ETA 10/31/14 after watching the movie at least 10 times in the last two years: The movie was a lot more palatable then the ...
It's been a long time since I last read this (was reading it regularly when it first came out).Follows Patrick Bateman, rich, young, yuppie as he moves through the world as he sees it, and the reader sees it for how inconsequential it really is.The violence and workd view given caused a bit of a sho...
Sadly this is the least scary of any of the Ellis books I've read - mostly due to the choice to make the protagonist an alternate Bret Easton Ellis and to try to make him acknowledge his emotions. I could have gotten more into a book with the same plot but a regular, non famous non meta character so...

"American Psycho" begins with the usual disclaimer. "This is a work of fiction. All of the characters...are imaginary and are not intended to refer to any living persons..." I should hope not.It is rare to read a book cover to cover when you cannot stomach any aspect of any of the characters. They a...
3 stars for writing and 1 star for structure.I can appreciate the well rendered voice and harsh vision of 80's hedonism among Hollywood rich kids, but I wouldn't call this a good book. Some of the writing is good; some of the characters (mostly the protagonist) feel real; some of the scenes are evoc...
