Just finished reading this book. Fucking awesome. Really enjoyed. So well written. Very simple story but fantastically told. Has anyone else read/heard of it? |
||||||||

I might read it soon. Right now I'm reading American Psycho (pretty vile, really) and I just finished Glamorama, so I'll probably wait a while before I start Lunar Park. I like his style a lot. |

there have been a few threads about it already, mr. New Search Engine Tester.. :) |

I love both those books. Haven't read either for a while but I may do so again. qrter: Didn't even bother checking because I assumed there wouldn't be :D |

American Psycho is amazing. I loved both the book and the movie. I hope you agree! I'd like to get his new book, but I have enough assigned reading that I don't get around to as it is.. |

I'm gonna get it when I'm done reading the two, no THREE books I'm currently reading. I need one for each mood/occasion/sexual position/etc. |

its brilliant, especially the juxaposition of the sex scenes with the murders |

uviol: I wasn't too keen on the movie. I felt it changed things unnecessarily and added little tings that ruined bits of the book. The actual look was spot on in my opinion but little things were annoying. nlogax: Damn boy, where've you been? Jar: It's good mate. It's good :D |

Yeah, I liked it. I made a thread two weeks ago about it. Some of the bits in the "biography" at the start are made up and some aren't. I thought that was quite funny. |

I loved Amercian Psycho, perhaps I'll pick this up the next time I'm looking for reading material. |

doesn't he say in this new book that all the killings in "American psycho" are fantasies of Bateman and that he thought that was quite obvious? I remember reading that somewhere. |
||||||||

Yeah, but Bret Easton Ellis in the book is a fictious, exagerated version of himself. So you can't take anything he says in the novel as fact. These people were reviewing the book on radio four, and actually believed that he had introduced videos on MTV for a week during the mid-eighties! |

yes, it was deliciously depraved, no doubt. giginger: the exact plot details that were changed edude me at the moment, other than the compression many, many murders into a small number of tamer incidents. But like you said, the film's cinematography was beautifully done.. atmospheric and artificial. I also thought Christian Bale did a fantastic job playing the sort of edgy professional about to snap. |

Christian Bale rules. Everybody must see |
