I also read it when it came out. The first publisher backed out when some of the stuff in the book became publicized. A lot of people were especially offended by the misogyny in the book. I think everybody in the book is an object.

I think the book is very clever and that Easton Ellis knew exactly what he was doing with the over the top violence. For me the most disturbing parts were the detailed analysis of Whitney Houston and Huey Lewis and the News. The discussions about the right stereo equipment, clothes and all that is right on the money.

Making obscene amounts of money and killing people are just the same in the book. Bateman just does it in "real" life. I also like the fact that nobody will stop him. Nobody can hear him at all.
