Patrick Bateman is twenty-six and works on Wall Street. He is handsome, sophisticated, charming and intelligent. He is also a psychopath. And he is taking us to a head-on collision with America's greatest dream - and its worst nightmare...©1991 Bret Easton Ellis (P)2009 Recorded Books LLC Dark Humour Genre Fiction Literature & Fiction Thriller & Suspense

it's really fun and the readers voice has quickly taken over the spot in my head that was formerly reserved for Christian Bale when I thought about Patrick Bateman.

Great Audiobook

An outstanding work that vividly illustrates the extravagance and self-indulgence that dominated Wall Street in the 1980s. However, if you're sensitive to themes of violence or racism, this book may not be suitable for you. It is rich with metaphor and abstraction, portraying a world of superficial, interchangeable elitists devoid of empathy, immersed in misogynistic attitudes and trivialities. You must watch the movie as well.

A classic - Banned literature

Laughed so much, very cynical, on a certain level very true, very disturbing and read very well.

Still a very funny book

This book has been recommended to me for a while and I am glad that I read it. I enjoy Easton-Ellis writing style and how even though you should not really empathize with the character of Patrick Bateman, he still manages to make parts of his life sound enviable.
This is further helped by the performance who I will from now on remember as his voice instead of Christian Bale (even though I also love Bale‘s performance in the movie)

Really well written and read

To me at least, this is a boring, disgusting, revolting assortment of banalities, superficiality (which it never transgresses) and vulgarity. Period.

How is this supposed to be literature?
