Negative Positive
Title: The most accurately titled book ever written
Review: This book is a profound, disturbing, true-to-life expose of . . . what exactly? The characters, with their laughably stilted speech and their contrived actions, bear not the slightest resemblance to any individuals or subculture recognizable from the real world.Even his portrayal of self-absorbed, materialistic rich kids is off. I went to high school and undergrad with plenty of such kids, and either they were driven to succeed so that they could retain their self-absorbed, materialistic lifestyle, or they were too busy being hung over to act as Ellis depicts.As for the incessant, glamorous partying with no consequences, has Ellis ever heard of the banality of evil? Doesn't anyone in his universe ever get into a car wreck when stoned or catch crabs from the promiscuity?
