This book is quite enjoyable for the most part but what is up with all the disgusting, highly detailed torture porn in the final third of the book?
I like to think I am quite robust when it comes to violence in books, films and video games. I love extreme horror and books which makes you feel uncomfortable.
However, I feel like American psycho is just an excuse for Ellis to write gore porn at this point. This is the only book which has made me physically cringe and feel a little queasy. It's currently 10:20am in the morning, my day off work, coffee on the table, reading about Bateman shoving a rat up a girls vagina. What the fuck is going on with this book?
I understand the satire nature but none of it has a point. Is that the point…That there is no point?
