apricatz 's review for:

American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis
5.0
dark tense fast-paced

everytime a chapter was titled 'girls' i sighed.

personally, i thought the narrative viewpoint and window into bateman's psyche was written spectacularly. the imagery and superficiality of 80s hedonists was captured perfectly in this book, but i could understand how its intensity and bateman's abhorrent personality would deter readers. couldn't say i enjoyed reading it but it was so engrossing and interesting i couldn't put it down..
