A review by tscott907
The Shards by Bret Easton Ellis

5.0

Stunningly scary, enticing, and atmospheric. Each character has their own conflicts but all of them dovetail together into a perfectly thrilling conclusion. Veers expertly between campus novel (can I even call it that? Whatever, I am) and psychological thriller. I have conflicting feelings about Ellis as a person but there’s no doubt he’s an incredibly talented writer, so I’ll give him, like, the tiniest of passes for how good this book is.
