Like a much more complicated and graphic Zoolander. Exactly what you'd expect from Bret Easton Ellis, black humour, unreliable narrator, unexpected twists, graphic sex and violence. I felt towards the end triple (quadruple?) agents could have been cut but enjoyed it over all.

If you like Bret Easton Ellis, you'll probably like this book. It's got his expected detached voice, camouflaged satire, and loathsome characters. The plot is unbelievable, but still totally fun.
