Title: NOTHING NEW HERE
Review: I read this book in less than two hours, and it did nothing for me. THIS IS NOT CATCHER IN THE RYE FOR THE MTV GENERATION!!! This is a decent writing for maybe a twenty year old want-to-be writer, which is what he was at the time. Personally I don't know how Ellis got this work published. I kept waiting and waiting for ANYTHING to happen, but unfortunately Ellis was not very creative. Instead he liked to talk about what people were wearing, he should have used that energy and time on thinking of all those 80's fashions, and I don't know, write a decent plot, or story. Do yourself a favor and take the money that you were going to spend on this book and buy some paper and pens and write your own story, it will probaly be more entertaining. As much as I wanted to like this novel, um sorry Bret, not very good even for a teenager.
Is the review positive or negative?
