I read the review of the book in the Sunday Times and it said do not buy this book under any circumstances.

Red rad, bull, of course I bought it.

The gimmick was cheap, but very effective. After reading page after page about the vacuous life of these empty people, and you're bored stupid with the lists of what his friends were wearing, the graphic, sadistic violence really was like an almighty punch in the face. Like most movies it wasn't quite as good as the book, as your imagination is replaced by that of the director's.

All Bret Easton Ellis's books are worth a read, in my opinion.
