Imperial Bedrooms by Bret Easton Ellis

3.0

fast-paced

---

meh, I didn't like Clay's character at all here, the story got so confusing at times which I get we're reading from Clay's pov and he's not the sanest/most reliable narrator, but I keep feeling there is something we're not being told, sth everyone knows but us, Clay even hides it in his thoughts and only vaguely refers to it, I didn't care about this style of writing :/ it started good and I was hooked but it lost it half way, the story was just so boring lol.

and the torture porn was sooo unnecessary imo, but what's a BEE novel w/out it ig🙄 this man 100% has a deep resentment of women and this time the story wasn't good enough for me to ignore it.
