As a feminist, I love this book because it is a satire of the upper-class business men of Wall Street and it's altogether a fascinating read. Furthermore, the book remains interesting even though you could argue it has no ongoing plot. In fact, I would argue that it's one of the greatest books of all time. Patrick Bateman is such a complex character and experiencing the world through his lens was one of the most fascinating experiences of my life. Obviously, this is great for people who like main characters to be more morally corrupt.
