“Bret Easton Ellis' American Psycho is very clever,...”

★★★★★

written by on 04/12/2008

Bret Easton Ellis' American Psycho is very clever, very funny, very well written but totally horrific in parts. Not recommended for most! A top 10 book for me. Strangely similar to Remains of the Day.

Totally gripping and addictive, you miss him in a wierd kind of way when the book is finished he lives on in your mind and whenever you hear Whitney Houston or Huey Lewis and the news it brings a knowing smile to your face haha. Totally genius writing from this fabulous author, all I can say is if you want to walk with an utter deranged psychopath and peep into the dark corners of his obsessive, compulsive, twisted mind then get this book and read it!

What a gripping book, not for the faint of heart but an excellent thriller / roller coaster ride. If you've made the mistake and seen the film, then don't judge the book by this, it was an awful attempt to do justice to a masterpiece of fiction. The wonderful contrasts between lifestyle and appareance and the evil that exists within us is captured and exposed is brutal detail. A book that made me laugh out loud at the extremety of the violence at times, this is a book you'll find hard to put down

“Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho is a true 20th...”

★★★★★

written by cosmo on 16/02/2005

Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho is a true 20th century classic. It is the tale of Patrick Bateman, who is a superficial yuppie, hung up on perfecting his physique, designer clothes, earning money, beautiful women and appalling music (there's chapters on the brilliance of such artists as Phil Collins and Huey Lewis & the News). Patrick is completely caught up in the greed and self-indulgence of the decade and also happens to be a deranged killer who likes to murder people in increasingly brutal ways. This book is told from his point of view and charts his slow descent into madness. It's also a brutal indictment against the materialistic values of the decade and the superficiality of popular culture. Plus, despite its gruesomeness, it's actually fairly amusing, and, unlike most of Bret Easton Ellis' other books, is fairly linear and simple to follow.

American Psycho the super efficient world of a serial killer a very sexy book gets very gory and can only be read in shortbursts.

This is my favourite book, I'm not sure I agree with short bursts, I happily read it for hours, although the ultra violence might disturb some, I actually found it extemely amusing. It's a beautiful twist between the super lifestyle and the demons bubbling under the surface!
