Oh my goodness, is all I have to say. I really enjoyed this read. For people who have seen and like the movie, this is for you. Somehow, it manages to be GORIER than the film, if you can believe it. Overall, very well written, and the movie follows it very well. If you like American Psycho but wanted a more deliberate look at Patrick Bateman, this one’s for you.
