I watched the movie ages ago and decided to read the book recently. Gosh I did not realise how much more gory it was than the movie. If you don’t like body horror then this is definitely not for you but I found the whole book fascinating. Going from talking about designer clothing (which happens a lot) to lunches and clubbing to full on mutilation is wild. I HIGHLY suggest you read the epilogue if you do read it as I think it’s really interesting hearing Ellis’ view on his book.
