[quote][i]Originally posted by MoesTavern[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Balling[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by MoesTavern[/i] I found it very powerful[/quote]Well it's certainly quite powerful in that it punches you in the face with detailed descriptions of gore and hardcore sex just to switch pace completely spend decades explain the suits and glasses (always horn rimmed) of every person the main character meets. This contrast is completely intentional, of course, it just doesn't make for a very good reading experience in my opinion. If anything though, it's a book worth reading as a lot of people have read it and even more people have an opinion about it, so it's often a good talking point. [/quote] It's certainly a book that polarises opinion, for me the excessively descriptive sections are as much a part of the style of the book as the violence and sex, the world is described through Bateman's eyes and he is a narcissist obsessed with appearance and possessions, so it makes sense he would pay particular attention to these things. I found the writing engaging enough not to be bored. [/quote]
