Less Than Zero – Bret Easton Ellis
I picked this book randomly when searching on Amazon for books read by those who purchased Douglas Coupland’s books. I was disappointed. This book was a weird recitation of series of disturbing scenes of rich young American teenagers getting screwed, getting drunk, and how they lived their immoral stupid lives. The book was written in the 80s, and apparently it was a hit at that time? The book was written as a series of relatively short scenes of the narrator going through the series of events that were supposed to make up a storyline, which I unfortunately did not find interesting, it felt very fragmented, and I had to force myself to finish the book. The book was pretty short, so I did not waste a lot of time on it… I think that it is healthy to read a crappy book every now and then to appreciate a good book when you read it.
1.5/5
– Read only if you have nothing better to do.
