A review by petatron
American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis

4.0

This novel was bizarre but fascinating. I enjoyed it and couldn't stop reading but at times it had me completely baffled. I'm not sure what to think of it, but whenever I wasn't reading I was thinking about Patrick. I kept thinking he was going to accidently return one of his tapes when he was returning videos that he had rented.

The last 50 pages or so it almost felt like Patrick would be redeemed in some way, but I knew this wasn't the case. He's insane, everyone around him is insane in a way. They're all obsessed with clothes and money and being cool. They don't even notice each other.

There was no real ending, but there was no real way to end it either. I know I'll need to read this again, but not for a long time.
