Yeah, it sucked!

It was horrible. Hands down the worst thing he's ever written. Imperial Bedrooms should've never been written. Gratuitous sex scene? Yes. And it's awful. People dying for no reason? Yes. And it's pathetically awful. Abstractions (the kind in bad mystery/thrillers were people won't just tell the other what's going on, either under the rouse that it's TOO DANGEROUS, or there's NOT ENOUGH TIME. But really, the writer realizes that the TWIST isn't cool enough to just be told, and builds a narrative on it, stacking abstractions and avoidances till the final thing is revealed). FLAT and FIZZLED-OUT.

Bret Easton Ellis. You should stop. You broke my writer/reader heart.

I'm reading poetry and about to start reading Boz.

Love,
Joshua
