Just finished The Rules Of Attraction. I do not think I have ever hated a group of characters more in my life. I picked up a bunch of Brett Easton Ellis books as they are all pretty short and his prose is super flat and easy to digest quickly almost like you are reading the news paper. He seems to have a style of just pure nothingness. I found myself bored and not caring what happened to these kids at all but that was the point I guess. I felt no real sense of desperation. He does seem adept at capturing the utterly empty vapid existence of drugged out yuppie trust fund babies. I would have wrote the ending where they all had to do 30 years hard labor in a Russian gulag. Less Than Zero is up next.
