book
American Psycho
What do you get when you cross GQ with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre? An over-hyped piece of crap. One of those rare exceptions where I'd say the movie is better.
edit:
Oh, yeah, I get the whole juxtaposing of grooming tips and business tactics with the pathologies of a serial killer. I understand that having a chapter dedicated to facial scrubs being followed by a chapter talking about turning a hooker into a human habitrail for vicious rodents is supposed to make you stop and think about just how savage we all really are. It's still crap.
what book to read next
