Bret Easton Ellis
1985
Around 210 pages
Less Than Zero is the rating that this novel deserves. Unfortunately, it's only the warm up act to American Psycho.
Clay is a rich young college student who has returned to his hometown of Los Angeles, California for winter break. He feels isolated from the party culture of his friends. Namely how everybody is an amoral drug addict.
Carl Sagan had me feeling good for two seconds about the universe, now we have this guy. I hated all the characters. I'm ready to request a moratorium on novels with young men writing about their friends' partying lifestyles. It's not as interesting as they think it is.
RATING: -----
Interesting Facts:
Released when he was 21 years old and still a student at Bennington College.
UP NEXT: A Maggot by John Fowles
