Patrick Bateman is twenty-six and works on Wall Street. He is handsome, sophisticated, charming and intelligent. He is also a psychopath. Taking us to head-on collision with America's greatest dream—and its worst nightmare—American Psycho is a bleak, bitter, black comedy about a world we all recognize but do not wish to confront.
I saw this book come up on many horror/thriller book lists so I thought I'd give it a try. I was warned that it was not for the faint of heart, and the warning holds true, this is one of the most brutal books I've read, and that is saying something. I cannot count the number of times my jaw dropped. It was interesting reading, seeing his decent into madness. I am not sure about the ending, it just...ends. It was a very anti-climactic ending.
