American Psycho

Warning: There will be some spoilers.

Normally a book of this length would take me two days to read. But at times I wanted to quit and delete it from my kindle. It took me roughly six days to read this book. I don't even know where to begin with this review honestly. Those who praise this book are 100% right. It is interesting, groundbreaking, disturbing, dark, and gut wrenching. However those who say it is graphic, boring, and utter trash are also correct. There were times where I didn't know what I wanted to rate this. One chapter it deserved 5 stars and then on some chapters it deserved none. I just added and divided by two.

There are chapters dedicated to singers, chapters dedicated to complete psychosis, and we see how the upper class lives. The book was all over the place just like the main character and in the end I felt empty and used.

Read the book first then watch the film. I never thought I would actually say this but I enjoyed the film way more than the book. At times I wanted to give up but then at times I was hooked. I love books that are based on satire but I wasn't thrilled with this.
