American Psycho

i love the message of this book, it's so funny and disturbing and profound. however; this book took me so goddamn long to read. i also am not sure if i hadn't seen the movie before if i would have liked it as much. 3.5 as a safe “i liked it but there's issues”

I have twice attempted to read this book, but somehow I just can't get through it. I understand the subtleties and the reason for the way it is written, but the book is so gritty, graphic and dry, that I have struggled to finish it. No doubt I will give it another go at some point....
