The author of American Psycho and Less Than Zero continues to shock and haunt us with his incisive and brilliant dissection of the modern world.  In his most ambitious and gripping book yet, Bret Easton Ellis takes our celebrity obsessed culture and increases the volume exponentially.

Victor Ward, a model with perfect abs who exists in magazines and gossip columns and whose life resembles an ultra-hip movie, is living with one beautiful model and having an affair with another.  And then it's time to move on to the next stage.  But the future he gets is not the one he had in mind.

    The world is beautiful if you are beautiful says Victor .

    Right from the start you're inside Victor's troubled mind , as it would become , and the first pages about the opening of his new place are just stunning : they stick in my memory like they talk to a part of me ( i'm not sure which part ) .

    This novel is 100% Ellis , that i simply adore , but there is kind of an happy ending and Victor seems to be going trough some kind of growing up : the story left me a feeling of hope and bravery that taste just right .

    Not a masterpiece ( for me Lunar Park is the best Ellis around ) but something that will stay with you for a long time .

  • I really liked Easton Ellis' writing...
    and the plot could easily be a movie by Quentin Tarantino...
