Review title: With so many good books out there, dont waste your time here
Product review: I guess it was bound to happen. A book that disgusted me to the point of not recomending it because of its violence. I'm a 23 year old kid who grew up around all this media violence and consider myself pretty desensitized to all of it, especially in terms of books. I'm a believer that violence can have a point(fight club) but it just doesn't have a point here. This is sex and gore for the sake of controversy alone. Free publicity was the motivation, it had to be, because nowhere in the 400 page novel does a plot ever get started it just goes on and on about what his friends are wearing, the girls he has sex with, and why and how he kills them. murder, violence, sex, all can add up to an intriguing story, but Ellis is more concerned with giving us graphic details of sex positions and killing sprees then he is with giving us a reason to keep reading. There's better books out there, (Basic Eight, Virgin Suicides) don't waste your time here.
