Negative Positive
Title: Disappointed
Review: As a huge Ellis fan, I really wanted to like this book, and approached it with an open mind, despite having heard quite a few negative (as well as some highly positive) reviews from fellow Ellis fans.While the first chapter of the book (where Ellis recounts his own life and success) was captivating, I just found the rest dull and redundant overall. This is not to say that it doesn't have its merits - its account of suburban life is spot-on, and the book also gives you a glimpse into Ellis' inner world. For me, this last aspect alone made it worthwile to read, but after finishing the last page, I was missing that "Oh my God...", staring into space for long seconds moment that I got from his other works (Glamorama, Less than zero).
Is the review positive or negative?
