American Psycho
This book is fucked up. I only made it about halfway through and I stopped reading, and here’s why. First of all, this guy bitches for more of the book (that I read anyway) about clothes and what belt goes with what and all that – very OCD, very crazy. And he hangs out with his douchey friends and he idolizes Donald Trump because it’s set in the 1980s. So then, the author starts describing the gross and very detailed sex that he has with random people. Yuck. Watching a sex scene in a movie is one thing, reading one in a book is another and it’s disgusting and makes me want to vomit. I don’t know how people read romances novels and don’t barf all over the place. I like the word barf.
Anyway, so once you get past the gross sex scenes (using the word dilated in a sex scene is not sexy it’s gross), then he starts killing people. Which I would think would be cool and fun to read because serial killers are awesome, but unfortunately, the first killing scene is him killing a bum. No biggie, but here’s the rest: First he takes his knife and plucks out the guy’s eyeball. Okay hang on I almost just ralphed. Okay so then he pulls down the guy’s pants and stabs him in the thigh and a bunch of times in the stomach. Then, he cuts open the guy’s cheek muscle (barf) and puts a quarter INSIDE his face. ::jennifer vomits:: Then, there’s a dog there barking and the dog crouches down with his front paws extended out in front of him, and what does this freak do? He stomps down on the dogs from paws and breaks them so they’re all extended the wrong way. VOMIT. VOOOOMMMMIIIITTTT.
I hate this book. But I got past that scene until the next digusting sex scene followed by this guy killing ANOTHER dog. I can’t take it. I put down the book and refuse to pick it back up. And don’t think I was looking at the book to remember how that scene went, it is forever etched in my memory and I hate it.
I rented the movie from Netflix. I hope it is better than the book and he kills less dogs.
