My favourite Brett Easton Ellis book

A hard decision. For sheer impact, obviously you can't beat American Psycho. But I enjoyed Glamorama more - it is pretty cool; although on re-reading it recently, it is definitely a lesser work. Rules of Attraction is fun, but doesn't rate on the same scale. The one that troubles me is Lunar Park. It copped a lot of shit when it came out, but for what it's worth if you're a BEE fan then it absolutely hit the mark. It wouldn't convert non-believers, but I thought it was fun, funny, original, clever, a page-turned and a huge fuck-you. All good things. So overall... um... American Psycho.
