Hmmm, I didnt live up to expectations. It started so well but the end was a bit of a let down

I hate it when books do that. Always makes me wonder if they got bored of it near the end so just decided to finish it off :/

From what I've seen of the trailer it looks like at least part of it is filmed on the Rowley Way Estate in Camden... Plus I think my mate who works in the film office mentioned summat about it... If I'd been paying more attention I've got 40+ cameras up there

muahahahahahahahhahaha

I have just finished 'Less than Zero' by Bret Easton Ellis his first book which was lurking in the work 'library' downstairs.

Was ok... if you have read 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' By Hunter S Thompson and 'American Psycho' By Bret Easton Ellis it is written in pretty much the same alchol/drug induced way with long long sentences...

Nice and short.

Also the last book before that I read 'One Shot' was ok I'd give it 6/10 nothing special.

no no no no no!

American Psycho was incredibly well written as being in the mind of a complete introvert extrovert.. The reason there is an ENTIRE chapter on Phil Collins/Genesis is to show how particular and obsessed he is with things...

As the book continues then the way each chapter is written it slowly changes to show the breakdown of his mind as he commits worse atrocities which culminate in the last sentence..
