Clay comes home for Christmas vacation from his Eastern college and re-enters a landscape of limitless privilege and absolute moral entropy, where everyone drives Porches, dines at Spago, and snorts mountains of cocaine. He tries to renew feelings for his girlfriend, Blair, and for his best friend from high school, Julian, who is careering into hustling and heroin. Clay's holiday turns into a dizzying spiral of desperation that takes him through the relentless parties in glitzy mansions, seedy bars, and underground rock clubs and also into the seamy world of L.A. after dark.

Book Review: American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis
American Psycho is a 400 page book written in the first person. It tells the story of the Patrick Bateman, a 20-something year old investment banker, who in his free time is a murderer. Ellis is a brilliant writer, and I had been meaning to read American Psycho since I first watched the film a few years ago. I thought the film was amazing, and so I knew that the book must be too.
