Are his other books as good as American Psycho?

No. they're similar, but they don't have the same draw, and since the MC isn't a lunatic serial killer, it's just exaggerated hedonism wank fodder.

if you jive with BEE then all of his books should be up your alley. rules of attraction is probably the tamest. glamorama is the funniest

>> No.16212608

his other books are kinda more of the same, but not quite as one-note as am psycho insofar as they are not just shopping and killing
glamorama is sorta complicated and sprawling and plotty but the one i liked best
the early ones (less than zero and the informers) are more realist iirc (apart from the vampires)

His other books are still impressive. The characters in Less Than Zero repulsed me more than Bateman and the yuppies.
