Review title: ...and they're making a movie out of this?
Product review: Must have originally been titled 'American Psycho Babble' but I guess they ran out of room on the cover. Instead of an excursion through terror, the reader gets a window shopping tour of Rodeo Drive boutiques. What a bore this book was. Ellis must be laughing all the way to the bank. No structure or plot, the reader is left with sporadic gruesome scenes inserted strictly for shock value. If the book closed with '....and the world ended.' no one would miss any of the characters. This book should have been released directly to the 'free' shelf of a used bookstore. Frankly, it heads my list of 50 worst books of the century.
