Review title: A chilling, riveting read
Product review: The first half of the book began to bore me (all the name-dropping), but really it was just a setup for a second half that's utterly amazing in terms of its non-stop brutality and horror. I really like the way Ellis evokes the banality of the central character's life. His brain is like a sharks's. It exists to home in on certain targets (haute couture, victims), and has no other function. A great book. I read this book in French, my second language, and I'm glad I did so: my vocabulary didn't extend far enough to allow the book to turn my stomach completely.
