A review by mrbear
The Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis

4.0

It took me a long time to get through this book, but oddly it wasn't because it was bad. It was just intense. Every page was a new story, everything was direct and honest. While the book may have exaggerated a lot of college stereotypes, I think it said a lot of important things also. I empathized with Sean a lot more than I think people were supposed to. A lot of the time it seemed like he was the main character, which was a little strange, since I think there were really supposed to be 3 characters. Perhaps the only thing I didn't like about the book was the random sections written by unimportant side characters (like Victor), because it was hard to see how they fit in. Worth reading, but very very sexual.
