Review: American Psycho

American Psycho American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book was powerful but eventually left me with a bad taste. Not everything that is thought needs to be committed to paper. We live in an age when an unexpressed thought is considered to be some kind of waste. But, there are passages in this book that I truly struggled to read. My mind could not comprehend why an author would want to describe the death of a child in such a way. Some books are better left unread.
