American Psycho is wwild-wild-wild. It's one of the best studies of a psycho killer ever written. Those other serial killer books, like Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal and even [[ASIN:0451203267 The Stranger Beside Me (Revised and Updated): 20th Anniversary]] do not understand how warped and twisted a serial killer is. Ellis does. He gets it. He gets that a serial killer, Patrick Bateman, is so shallow that he's the sunlight bouncing off the oil slick on a rancid puddle. Damn, but Ellis is good. He's so good that this book bounced around publishers because normal people can't believe how twisted a serial killer is. Ellis uses the serial killer to play off 1980s NYC, but that's secondary to his damn-fine characterization.
Damn, but I need a cup of coffee. This ain't coming out right.
American Psycho is American, but it's also Psycho. Read the book. It's a deep character study, and I like thost, like [[ASIN:1601640021 Rabid: A Novel]] or [[ASIN:0679735720 Time's Arrow]].
