What the fuck did I just read? (Should I watch the film?)

This has probably come up before but did Bateman kill all those people in the fashion he remembered?

I read the book last week. Throughout the book I always thought he was doing the killings. I mean, it was absurd, but that was the point, the absurdity of it all.

It made complete sense to me that his lawyer mistook him for someone else and one of his victims for someone else. This happens throughout the book and adds to it's comic value.

Brett Easton-Ellis in an afterword in the new penguin classics book questioned himself (and left it open) whether Bateman killed all the people.

As for the book itself, I read it on holiday and some of the extreme sexual gore was disturbing. There are amusing parts though and it is a comic book. Bateman waving away Bono when Bono tried to touch him was my favourite I think!

Thoughts on the book, the killings etc....
