alexshu 's review for:

by Bret Easton Ellis by Bret Easton Ellis
4.0

I enjoy a book that makes me feel grossed out, disgusted, angry, and upset. This was a perfect book to fulfill that need. I'll admit it, I have seen the movie before reading the book. In my defense, I never knew it was based on a book until I finally watched the movie!
My reason for 4 stars and not 5 is because of the number of times I would need to stop reading and spend some time on my phone or computer looking up the various brand names and other descriptions the narrator, Patrick Bateman, gave. Was that completely necessary? Probably not, but I wanted to know exactly what he was describing so I could try to be more immersed in the book.
