Como muchos antes y despues de mi, he leido este libro en el colegio y me ha gustado mucho, bueno que es bastante largo.

Fast-paced novel of intrigue and double-dealing (so much of it that at times I lost track of who was double-dealing whom) and clearly inspired by the movies of Alfred Hitchcock. Plenty of melodramatic cliches but sometimes it makes sense to use them.

Once you've read one Bret Easton Ellis you have largely read them all - or so I felt when reading this. Young man from a well-to-do family has gay sex and drives around in a Mercedes Benz and if you have nostalgia for that time and place then maybe it would suit, but while I'm the same age as him I grew up in South London and it was very different. Tobias Wolff's "Old School" did the elite-school sort of thing far better. As, from another direction, with its description of rootless addiction, does "Infinite Jest."
