A review by daphnesayshi
American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis
2.0
Started American Psycho about a month ago just as NZ was going on lockdown. "Best find something gripping and easy to read, so as to pass the time better," I thought. I loved the movie and I remember the Ellis phase I had in my early twenties fondly, so American Psycho seemed to fit the bill.
Boy was I wrong.
When complaining to a friend of mine, he mentioned that he thinks writers like Ellis (like Murakami,or like Palahniuk) often click very well with readers of a certain life phase – their appeal falls right off after. I think he's right. And so I am giving up on this book BECAUSE THERE AIN'T ENOUGH TIME IN LIFE TO DALLY ON.
