Well , i don't have much to say about American psycho from Bret E.E, and probably if you're reading this you must know his work, so, This is an Incredible book, if you saw the movie based on this Title you won't lose the book because it is very detailed, nice! each Patrick Bateman thougth and movement is detailed :) You read it in spanish, english or any language, is worth it, Thanks to bret and thanks to Open Road Books, they are great!!

I love this book. It's hilarious, and Patrick Bateman may be the most fascinating character I've ever read about. Ellis's writing is flawless, biting and witty except on the rare occasions when he chooses to be somber (and the book is actually pretty sad when he does). There's a lot of intense violence in this book; but because you read about it in such a blunt, matter-of-fact way, you don't feel it at all, and it actually amuses, rather than appals, you. The people Patrick kills (or rapes, or tortures) don't seem real, and it's as if Patrick (and, by extension, the reader) is God, and those people are merely insignificant, lesser beings who serve no purpose other than to be killed (or raped, or tortured). In short, we enter the mind of a serial killer. And no one can deny that it's an interesting place to be.

Oh yeah, and it's really entertaining to watch as Patrick spins further and further out of control, and no one notices. Probably the best social commentary/satire I've ever read =)
