A review by joshtenet
Imperial Bedrooms by Bret Easton Ellis
One great thing about this is that the characters (more than ten years detached from Less Than Zero) have actually changed and matured, and this is especially apparent in the writing. I liked that! If only the plot was to that quality. It isn't. It's really quite bad.
And the whole book's thesis is very obvious (Hollywood BAD!!!). This is the same for every other Easton Ellis book, but here (and I think for a lot of people this was true) it's just starting to get grating. I really like Bret Easton Ellis's prose, but when all his books are basically the same thing in different skins, what's the point in reading them all? I don't know.
