Review title: I see Patrick Bateman in a few business men I've known....
Product review: My understanding of the world is colored by where I grew up...around a lot of men who obsess over material details. How we measure ourselves in a capitalistic, materialistic society is madness in and of itself. The ruthless nature of a Patrick Bateman is grotesque, of course. But I have imagined and thought that I have actually seen his hate and contempt in the eyes of rich white guys that I have had to deal with.Reading this book was like a catharsis. It made me feel less guilty about imagining my fellow man as the hideous creatures they are. That this author is obviously expressing himself as a Patrick Bateman legitimizes my feeling that there are people out there that are dangerous, ruthless, and just don't care about anyone else.Great book, great subject. I'm glad Mr. Ellis felt comfortable enough to write this general self-portrait of the wealthy class.
