5.0

truly the scariest and most thrilling book i’ve read! bret easton ellis knows exactly how to induce dread and suspense. the descriptions are unlike anything else i’ve read before - explicit, gruesome, disturbing and creeping. yes, this book is very long and there is a lot of repetition and pretentious, annoying characters, but i was completely engrossed.
