Graphic, Disturbing, but absolutely Brilliant!
Patrick Bateman is one of the most intersting characters I’ve read in a novel, and even after reading him mentally deteriorate as the novel progresses, I still can’t exactly explain his character. His actions are precarious, and some of his most heinous acts have no rational behind them or are from trivial matters. For those wanting to give this a read, bear with the first couple 100-150 pages, as those are the slowest pages. The book really picks up pace after then. If you’re coming from the movie, know that the movie was essentially a heavily-censored version of the novel. The kills are graphic and may make you feel queasy, especially since no demographic is safe (kids and animals included).

American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis is a disturbing and controversial exploration of consumerism, narcissism, and the dark underbelly of 1980s American society. Through the lens of its protagonist, Patrick Bateman, Ellis delves into the depths of a mind consumed by materialism, violence, and moral decay.One of the most striking aspects of “American Psycho” is its unflinching portrayal of the excesses and depravity of Wall Street culture during the 1980s. Through Bateman’s perspective, Ellis exposes the shallow and superficial nature of the world inhabited by the wealthy elite, where status symbols and social hierarchies reign supreme.Central to the novel is Bateman’s descent into madness and violence, as he struggles to maintain his facade of normalcy while grappling with his inner demons. Ellis’s prose is both vivid and visceral, painting a chilling portrait of a man teetering on the brink of insanity.Moreover, “American Psycho” is a deeply satirical work that skewers the hypocrisies and contradictions of contemporary American society. Ellis employs dark humor and irony to critique the culture of consumerism and commodification that pervades every aspect of Bateman’s world.However, it’s important to note that “American Psycho” is not for the faint of heart. The novel contains graphic scenes of violence, sexual depravity, and psychological horror that may be disturbing to some readers. Ellis’s unflinching portrayal of Bateman’s descent into madness is not easy to digest, and readers should approach the book with caution.In conclusion, “American Psycho” is a challenging and provocative work that offers a disturbing glimpse into the darkest recesses of the human psyche. Ellis’s uncompromising exploration of violence, materialism, and moral decay makes for a confronting read that lingers long after the final page is turned.

The vintage books edition it’s really great. The paper reminds me of journal paper.
Karlson –
Sehr tiefgründig, Extrem verstörend und unheimlich lustig
Sunilkumar –
Go for it. It’s in perfect condition. No missing pages. Everything’s good.
