I have never had to put a book down to compose myself as many times as I did for this. And yet, I was skimming so much and skipping chapters. Interesting.

Mostly a dark, satirical character study on a narcissistic and violent allegory of Toxic masculinity. Full of gruesome and heinous crime, yet full of scenes that had me laughing hysterically at the stupidity. Overall it's brilliant and I think it's a great read but cam understand it's divisive nature.
Too many ITALICS! I don't even mind the no punctuation trend but I found this to be far too distracting. I wish Ellis trusted the audience to understand where the emphasis in a sentence should lie. Someone let me know if I just don't understand the point of this technique because I was really excited to read this one.
WOW.
I felt like I was getting manipulated by the main character while reading this book.
It is EXTREMELY well written. Although it was quite disturbing at times, it also had me giggling.
The only downside about this book is how graphic some chapters get. The author really goes into detail about EVERYTHING

Honestly a fun read but the murder and sex scenes are super graphic which I could see making people really uncomfortable. The way Patrick narrates and interacts with different characters makes it fun, only thing is he monologues about music and nonsense throughout the book which can drag on but it's part of the chaos of the book.

The animal scenes were too brutal for me to read.
