Spoiler
Take for example the small scene where he is in a hip hop bar with a primarily black crowd and proceeds to try and "act cool" by throwing up peace signs and "talking hip." Or in my personal favourite chapter "A Glimpse into Thursday Afternoon." Patrick is having some sort of mental breakdown and proceeds to shoplift a can of spam. He then takes it to a luxury apartment building where he is only let in for his looks, but then is immediately kicked out when he opens the spam and violently shoves handfuls of it into his mouthSpoiler
The author really does make a point to show that Patrick is no better than the people he mocks, he just thinks he is better because he is rich and looks good. I think this has to be a favourite for me personally due to all the care put into it, plus it is all I could ask for really. I picked this book up wanting more funny moments with Patrick and I got so many more.Graphic: Animal cruelty, Animal death, Blood, Body horror, Cannibalism, Child death, Cursing, Death, Drug abuse, Drug use, Gore, Hate crime, Mental illness, Misogyny, Murder, Panic attacks/disorders, Racial slurs, Racism, Rape, Schizophrenia/Psychosis , Self harm, Sexism, Sexual assault, Sexual content, Sexual violence, Torture, Toxic relationship, Violence, and Vomit

This book is a satire and if you think any of Patrick Bateman's actions are justified at all, please see someone. Nothing presented in this book is meant to give the reader that the impression of this is okay. Be weary of one's mental state before reading this as Patrick has many intrusive and negative thoughts. Also be warned of graphic sex and violence. And when I say graphic I put heavy emphasis on that word.
