I have never had mixed feelings so strong about a book. On one hand, I enjoyed the satire about the 80's and stereotypes, but it felt a little stale by the end. Over the courseof the novel, Patrick Bateman killed 17 humans/animals, which was just downright disgusting! The representation of everyone but straight, white, rich men was genuinely foul, and there were definitely parts of the book that disgusted me. The narcassism, elitism, classism, racism, sexism and homophobia within the book was not my cup of tea, and I don't think that there wasn't a character who was horrible. I will say, it was kind of funny to watch him lose his mind over the book, but I don't think that I could enjoy this properly. The random outfit descriptions throughout the novel made it easier to imagine what was happening, but also felt semi-unnecessary. I don't think I would recommend this to anyone, but now I know that if anyone says this is their favourite book they are either, a) lying, or b) a walking red flag.
