Whilst I agree with all the people who say this book is boring, I love the book because that is exactly the point. The author meant this book to be a comment on privilege, wealth, looks, and just how easy it is for anyone to be a 'psycho'. I love how easy it can switch between mundane dinner parties straight into sex and then again straight into murder.
The characters aren't meant to be relatable, the plot isn't meant to be interesting, and the description forever IS meant to be senseless and graphic. You aren't meant to relate.
I know the book isn't for everyone, but once you get the authors intentions, it becomes 1000% better.
