Review title: Disturbingly memorable
Product review: This book brings to mind a movie I saw in NYC about 10 years ago: "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover." I must've contemplated leaving the theater four or five times during the film but was always "seduced" by yet another intriguing scene, only to be utterly disgusted by what followed. In the ensuing years, I've asked myself why I stayed. This is the same question I'll be asking myself about this book. Parts of the book were intriguing--if incredibly annoying--(e.g., Bateman's obsession with detail) but much was unbelievable (even in NYC one would be hard pressed to continually torture and murder in one's own apt without the slightest raised eyebrow from neighbors), thus reducing the story's credibility. In the end, I can't figure out why I "stayed". I suppose this will remain a mystery much as the "The Cook" has. I wouldn't recommend it. Simply too brutal.
