I'm still learning, but it's lovely to get feedback, particularly from people who really know what they're talking about :)<br /><br />I look forward to reading your own blog as you start to add more content. Maybe you could put up some notes about <i>American Psycho</i> and we can debate out some points? ;)<br /><br />Look forward to hearing more from you.Matthew Selwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00723650905588749638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6600022529355932646.post-30261268749281905412012-03-18T15:09:53.952+00:002012-03-18T15:09:53.952+00:00I wrote part of my undergraduate dissertation on A...I wrote part of my undergraduate dissertation on American Psycho and this is one of the most articulate reviews of the novel I have read. Very few people seem to be able to see past the violence which really annoys me as they miss out on what Ellis is actually saying. I think it's such an important book for our generation.<br /><br />I recommend the film, obviously it has nothing on the novel but it's very good!<br /><br />I'm enjoying your blog a lot :)rachel@theblookblog.wordpress.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14670851840767575738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6600022529355932646.post-40566215887100827512012-03-17T11:16:43.785+00:002012-03-17T11:16:43.785+00:00Definitely try it.

I can really imagine Christian Bale as Bateman, must get round to watching it some time soon.<br /><br />Thanks :)Matthew Selwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00723650905588749638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6600022529355932646.post-83624490218184905242012-03-17T01:40:05.380+00:002012-03-17T01:40:05.380+00:00I REALLY WANT THIS.
