A review by litltlehistorian
American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis

Did not finish book. Stopped at 40%.

It took me two goes to try and get through this. I just couldn't get into it. Some of the descriptions made me gag and feel physically ill. If you aren't aware (or even if you are) that this is satire it can be a confronting and cruel read. On the other hand it can also be a witty and interesting gaze at 80s Wall Street Guppies.
