This book was boring, appalling, and had nary a sympathetic character. It left me feeling violated, disturbed, uneasy, and numbed. However, I somehow think that was the point of it all. I did not enjoy this book at all, but it did affect me, and I credit Bret Easton Ellis with making that happen. I wouldn't recommend it, but I appreciate the work and Easton Ellis' skill at wrenching the guts of his readers, as awful as the experience may be.
