A review by mariowlie
American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis

Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.
This one was a rough read. It started out almost funny in how ridiculous some characters acted and interacted with one another, I think I understand the main themes of the novel well. 

The only thing that kept me reading past a certain point was morbid curiosity. "What is this guy going to do next? Do I want to know?" I would ask that question with every new chapter and around the Christmas party chapter I decided I was not interested anymore. 

I believe that some recent real-life political news made it so the book left an extra bad taste in my mouth and I really could not finish it.
