lexisbookishburrow's review against another edition

I get the author is trying to show how boring Patrick Bateman is but he’s doing an even better job boring me to death. I tried to stick it out but the over descriptions and misogyny was too much for me. My boyfriend convinced me to stop since even he could tell I wasn't enjoying it. Not my kind of book and I’m honestly not sure how other people finished it. 

I enjoyed the movie and though I might like this too. I was wrong.
