Review title: More a bad short story than a great novel
Product review: American Psycho is one of those rare books that manages to be boring and repellent at the same time. Despite the gory detail, nothing happens. Admittedly, that may be the point of the book. If so, it hardly needed to be 400 pages long. Yes, it is rich in detail. It may even be an interesting commentary on the jaded, desensitized eighties. But the bottom line is that nothing changes thoughout the lifespan of the book. This may be all right for reality, but for fiction, it's just dull. I admit, however, the book has desensitized me to the extent that if Bret Easton Ellis is murdered by some twisted freak I will not care.
