The Informers by Bret Easton Ellis

3.0

I don’t know. Maybe I just didn’t “get it”. I figured out pretty quickly that it jumped viewpoints, but it’s so jarring and clunky and there’s so little tying them together (except I guess tumbleweeds and also L.A. is a prison) that it’s not even interesting to see the different viewpoints. So much of my time was trying to figure out who was talking and who the people around them are. It starts to build towards the end with what looks like a promising plot twist but once that story ends it’s just on to the next random thing and ends on probably the *least* interesting story.

It could have been a lot more enjoyable if there had been a bit more crossover, like having a good assortment of both new and repeat characters, and if we had maybe checked back in on the characters in earlier stories.
