So I just finished reading this. I thought it was good. Nothing mind-blowing, but enjoyable. Felt like it drew a lot on Gatsby (yellow and the death of the american dream), Catcher (the bildungsroman-with-shit-parents bit), and in a way Lolita (not necessarily the sexual perversion, but the author trying to make us empathize with a very morally gray-going-on-black character.)
Am I a pleb for liking it? If so, tell me why.
You're a pleb for using TV Tropes so much it has saturated your vocabulary. Execrable.

I too enjoyed thet book's execution and overall themes: drugs,homosex, MTV-watching action and, after all, the whole emptyness of Clay and his rich peers. BEE is somewhat of a one-hit wonder, giving that either this or American Psycho take on the same issue with slightly different lenses. Overall, I reccomend the book to anyone after that "the-yuppies-suck-and-life-is-coke-and-patty-winters-show-(insert shocking scene)-did-I-say-that-they-suck-?" feeling and, of course, American Psycho is much superior to Less Than Zero.
