A review by dr_sleep
American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis
3.75
3.5⭐
Bret deliberately leaves gaps in certain areas in order to primarily satirize the consumer culture of New York society. However, it would have greatly enhanced the book to delve into other themes as well.
Bateman's constant descriptions of things and individuals became tediously redundant. Nevertheless, I had a tremendous amount of amusement (if it can even be called that) inhabiting Bateman's mind, with his amusing and horrifying observations and moments. He was a bona fide deranged clown, disguised in a human form, and I fully embraced his presence.
