I've read about half of this today and I'm waiting for there to be a point. My copy has some quote on the front about how disturbing it is but all that happens is drugs, parties, and movies. And also literally everyone is bisexual.
I guess it's alright?

Someone dies at the end or something. There really isn't a point other than BEE's usual vapid bullshit about how vain and hollow everyone is.
Don't read the spoiler OP, just finish the book, it's pretty good and not that long. It has a point, it's nothing that's going to change your life or anything, but as you said the story is about these people doing drugs and shit, that's not going to change.

>Someone dies at the end or something.nobody dies, but there is a 12 year old sex slave. That's probably the most fucked up thing.
>Lots and lots of felonies

Nice reading comprehension.

This, tbqh. Used to love him a few years back, but now I'm like "eh".
>>8085145Don't forget the snuff film.

Autistics like yourself don't appreciate Ellis because you have to actually empathize on more than just the surface level to feel disturbed by his characters.

There's nothing to emphasize with and everything in his shit is surface level. You got memed, son.

It's pretty hard to write something that's only surface level. Ellis isn't the GOAT but it says more about you than about him that you can read him that way.

>There's nothing to emphasize with
allow me to disregard your opinion with loud laughter

I've read American Psycho and wanted to read the whole Ellis Literary Universe in order. I find myself turning page after page but it's because I perpetually feel like something is going to happen. Of course it's disturbing how noncontributing the characters are.
>>8085658
>noncontributing
Wageslave please
Why are all the BEE hardcovers so fucking expensive.
>>8085078
>Implying that living a life devoid of any meaning or purpose outside of satisfying hedonistic desires isn't disturbing.
That's the point of the novel, senpai. The aching desire to have a purposeful existance is universal, even in what might seem to be the most superficial of people.
>>8085078
It's a very short novella. With all due respect, stop crying you casual
