Wow. Just wow.. I’d seen the movie before reading this and there are so many more details to Patrick’s insanity that it didn’t delve in to. This book is seriously messed up and I love it. It takes intrusive thoughts to another level.

Singular and interesting. Definitely not for everyone, but I found a lot to appreciate about it. It has the most sadistic violence I’ve ever read, so don’t assume it’s just generic murder that you can handle. It’s interesting how the character doesn’t try to explain himself or justify anything, or tell you what to think. At times he’s sympathetic, at times he’s unspeakably monstrous, and simultaneously he keeps being amusing and surprising.

American psycho. Amazing. My favorite book by far, Ellis' eye for detail and drawing the author a mental image is both impeccable and fascinating. Truly a remarkable read for those with a strong stomach and those who can see Patrick Bateman from a different point of view rather then a demented serial killer. Only for the people who have a mature enough mindset

Awful.. Impossible to follow. I have no idea why this is so popular other than someone wanting to read the few gory bits of it. What a waste of reading time.

Didn’t own up to the hype. Unlike the high standards I had for this book, it didn’t seem to be of any value. Most space was taken by inner monologues of clothing brands and filled space of scenery, there was no true defined point, other than the implied consumerism “American dream” trope, this book doesn’t really dive into madness, however displays the gory imagery of the after effects of the characters doings.

American Psycho. Great American Novel.

American Too Many Rambling Chapters. So long winded! Shortened by at least half, it's great. (Let's just say when you start skimming sex and murder chapters, the diarrhea of the fingers is outta control. Completely skipped chapters Genesis, Whitney Houston, and Huey Lewis.)

This is it. This is me.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Jah! Is tha best think evah? UDFHSIHIEFN YEH

I’m scarred for life. I read this book for Banned Books Week. I can absolutely understand why it was challenged. I can't even think of how to write a proper review about it. I just want to throw out expletives and wild hand gestures. Bateman scared the *** out of me! He's the guy everyone wants to date and wants around, and he's completely freaking psycho. He's a serial killer that has total breaks from reality. He commits atrocious violent murders. He even comes right out and tells people, but everyone is so caught up in what's the latest most expensive trend in the city that they just blow it off as jokes. The sexual torture scenes are so horrifying that I had to take breaks. Everything is so detailed that I almost threw up once. The way the author divides the insanity with completely mundane who's wearing what and going where and eating which item and drinking which drink and so is genius. It winds the reader down and then he hits us again. This is so scary because society is really like this. We have to actually be hit upside the head with something before we recognize the evil from the normal. Inside Bateman's head is a terrible place to be, but sadly it's interesting too. He has some kind of crazy appeal. This story completely disturbed me. I don't think I could reread it or recommend it, but I still think it deserves a high rating.

Exquisite. You really get in to the mind of Pat Bateman the serial killer .I felt like this character's thoughts were genuine and I really like the writing style honestly this is my favorite book it's graphic but it's really good

Amazing. I feel like I will become an actual psychopath if I read this again

American Pyscho. amazing read! Even better than the movie, which is my favorite movie of all time!

Funny, gut-wrenching, well-written satire.. This is the first major novel I have read in a while, and I was quite intrigued when I hit the last page. There were moments like in the chapter “Genesis” where Bateman is just listing out albums and songs, where I was laughing so hard, then there were instances like in chapters such as “Killing Child in Zoo” where I just felt deathly allergic. This is an amazing satire, definitely not recommended to the faint of heart, but recommended if you want to read something complex and laid-back.

Laborious. Insightful comments into the psyche of capitalist America, but the twisted actions by Bateman are too detailed. Somewhat as with George R. R. Martin, I shudder to think what runs through the corridors of Easton-Ellis’ brain

American Psycho. A worthwhile read and look at the 1980's culture of greed.

American psycho. Great read...keep with it looking beyond the fashion detail. It will leave you stunned!!

Boring. I don’t get the fuss. Definitely disappointing and boring.

Genius Pure and Simple. Brilliant paen to the entire sweep and grand foolishness that was the 1980s. He captures everything that odious about it, the obsession with consumerism, with personal grooming, with fluffy, meaningless pop and more. Ellis has a gift for eyeing what's most objectionable about a clique of people or an era and setting it down in the most addictive, alluring observations imaginable. If you want to know everything perverse about a sordid decade that was maybe the worst in American history, you could do a lot worse than downloading this one.

American Psycho. What a waste of time. I can deal with the gruesome details, the excesses etc if there is a plot.

American Psycho. 10/10 So here goes, god, how do I do this? American Psycho is one of my favourite books. It comes in four waves, each wave about 100 pages long. The first wave is mind numbingly repetetive, but purposefully so. It follows Patrick Bateman as he wanders around New York City, going to clubs, going to restaurants, working out. Bret Easton Ellis only drops little hints of Patrick's insanity along the way, and that's why it's so jarring and so shocking when he blinds the homeless man early into the second wave, it actually made me put the book down and sit there for a couple minutes before picking it back up. The way Bret Easton Ellis controls this book is brilliant, there's no other word for it. The way some people write about this book would made it sound very boring and graphic, but let me tell you that I think this book is actually riveting. Sure it's insanely violent and features pages and pages of descriptions of aesthetics and pornography (for satirical purposes) but there's an amazing entertainment value to it. You want to see what vile, surreal hijinks Patrick Bateman gets up to. Also, it's hilarious.

Astonishing. Though the long monologues Patrick finds himself stuck in, and his unfailing need to describe clothes, are difficult to get through, the entire book is a work of art. Slowly watching, reading, a character unravel all the while going through his daily, though bizarre, tasks was amazing to experience. The gore/deaths are painful yet enticing and the story never lessens. A favorite of all time.

One of the worst books of all time. Nothing more than the diary of rich, white loser who murdered people for sport. This book deserved to be banned and probably shouldn’t be published anymore.

a riveting tale. if u like cannibalism, ull love this!

Sick, not remotely intelligent. Burned it in the backyard grill.

This book has every element of postmodern literature. American Psycho is extremely complex. The way the characters are aware of the world is advanced in every way possible. The narrator, Patrick Bateman, provides readers with both a window into a portrayal of an actual psychotic killer, and a satirical version of a successful wall street tycoon. In between killing sprees (which are more graphic than can be described in this review) and hilarious satire of daily routine and high quality products, there is quite dull and boring descriptions of what people are wearing and music reviews but that aside the book is superb.
