Hi guys! So I just finished Brett Easton Ellis’ Less Than Zero, 208 pages.

I totally thought that all of the hype about it being “disturbing” or really in any way exceptional or exceptionable was mostly bull until somewhere around the last fifty pages. At first it really just seemed like another “drug novel” or “book that’s trying way too hard to depict wayward wealthy hedonistic youths.” For some reason I feel like that’s a genre that’s overdone, anyone agree?

Anyways, in the last 75-50ish pages suddenly the book reaches a whole new level of fucked up. Well, I guess the characters. It got really intense and really messed up and just generally pretty horrifying and engrossing. Definitely one of those books that requires a cooling-off period after you finish it.

Anyone else read it?
