litanyagainstfear 's review for:

American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis
3.5
challenging dark tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Definitely not for the faint of heart. Abrupt jumping between mundane businessman dealings and stomach turning violence (often sexual violence). But somehow also a bit boring. Very, very slow. And you have to skim over a lot of outfit descriptions. There’s a whole chapter just talking about a band.
